Biden names Harris to lead first federal gun violence prevention office
Effort continues administration’s work to prevent mass shootings and homicides that primarily affect Black and Latino communities
The Biden administration has announced the nation’s first federal Office of Gun Violence Prevention. In a statement released Thursday, the White House said the office will be overseen by Kamala Harris’s office, directed by Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden gun policy adviser, and deputy-directed by Greg Jackson and Rob Wilcox, who have led national prevention efforts through the Community Justice Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety respectively.
The creation of this office is a continuation of the administration’s work on preventing high-profile mass shootings and local homicides that primarily affect lower-income Black and Latino communities.
“In the absence of that sorely-needed action, the Office of Gun Violence Prevention along with the rest of my Administration will continue to do everything it can to combat the epidemic of gun violence that is tearing our families, our communities, and our country apart,” Biden said in the announcement.
Apparently no one even bothers looking up Harris's DA record. She's literally done this before in CA when she was DA to much success so this isn't a surprise
She's actually not a bad person
Nobody complaining will bother to look it up, they have their talking points and they heard the name Harris.
I mean hey, she was very vocal about protecting LGBT rights when she was DA as well. I don't get the hate. Do people hate that she actually cared?
Her records open, it's not shrowded in mystery
I think a lot of people hate her record as da in California for the whole truancy bullshit
She actually did an incredible job with it in CA. I would say it's her biggest achievement while in office there because the reduction in gun violence was huge. Obviously not all entirely due to her, there were other factors helping the outcome, but her efforts definitely assisted, including her pushback against various state departments connected to police that were trying to prevent such restrictions.
