Listen to this amazing interview with Juniper Rook, a Student at Redmond Proficiency Academy. She talks about the efforts she and her friend Isabella Richards are undertaking to address Gun Control, gun deaths, and student participation in creating policy on gun control that takes the needs and voices of our young people into account. She will specifically address two bills to address gun violence in the Oregon Legislature this session.
KPOV was the only media outlet initially accepting her request for an interview before the protest. Our interview led to Juniper having an opportunity to appear in other print and broadcast outlets as well as appear before the school board and city council.
