Our mission at KPOV is to strengthen community, the arts, local culture, and democracy through our independent, non-commercial radio portal. This is confidently supported by Critical Conversations, a special project developed to feature unique perspectives and the courage it takes to “go there,” challenging mundane thought and questioning the norm.
Moms Demand Action promotes gun safety, gun-sense laws and squashes myths to keep families safe.
The ripple effect of gun violence is wide and the discussion here brings awareness to and questions how our immediate culture shapes the way we view and process gun violence. Brandy Steelhammer and Juniper Rook, both gun safety advocates in Central Oregon, vulnerably give their own stories and many ways to take action against gun violence.
Originally aired on May 31, 2022 on KPOV’s Curiosity Lab

Critical Conversations would not be possible without the generous support of Oregon Humanities, Deschutes Cultural Coalition, the James A. Lee Community Gift Fund and The Roundhouse Foundation.
