Ep 80: Josh Stepakoff | A mass shooting survivor's plea for something to change

At 6 years old, Josh Stepakoff was the victim of a mass shooting.

Josh was just 6 years old playing capture the flag at a Jewish summer camp with a white supremacist starting shooting. Josh was shot in the hip and leg. Four others were injured, and one person was killed.

For more than 20 years, Josh has worked to overcome the fear and anxiety that his ordeal produced, and he's had to do it time and time again as he's seen hundreds of mass shootings play out without anything substantially changing in our society.

No matter where you stand on the issue of gun safety, Josh's voice and perspective are a must-hear.
