Parents and caregivers must be intentional about the amount of content young people in their lives consume when it comes to gun violence, especially when such violence is motivated by extremism. Exposure to media coverage of these events should be accompanied by time for young people to reflect, discuss, ask questions and contextualize gun violence.

Beyond celebrations of Pride Month and Juneteenth, we must all work to provide space for Black LGBTQ people.
