It is fitting that we take the month of June to raise awareness about gun violence, seeing that LGTBQ+ and people of color are often victims of gun violence.

The month of May was Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Awareness month. It is appropriate to recognize our Asian brothers and sisters because it was only days after the horrific mass shooting of 11 people in a King Soopers in nearby Boulder that there was a mass shooting of eight people in Georgia, six of whom were Asian-American women.
