In GROWING UP P.O.C. I speak with five luminaries: @sunny, @MarcusCooks, @aliciagarza, Tommy Orange and @Chad_Sand about how they navigated their upbringings and how they survive and thrive today.
“We should not be offered and certainly not accept a false choice. Like when we're talking about gun violence, we need to deal with that.”
“So as an administration, we're saying for example, the firearms dealers that those who are violating the law, there needs to be a consequence for that.”
The Vice President on vaccine hesitancy: “One in three Black people in America know somebody who has died from this disease. And here's the other point that I will make, virtually everyone who is in a hospital right now because of COVID-19 is unvaccinated.”
“So, the thing that I just want to remind folks of is that you have the power. Don't let anybody take your power from you. You have the power to save your life. You have the power to make a decision about what happens to your body.”
