Consider This from NPR - Can We Stop Mass Shootings Before They Start?
In the past two weeks the nation has borne witness to the tragedy of two mass shootings. In Uvalde, Texas, a gunman killed 19 students and their two teachers inside a fourth grade classroom at Robb Elementary School. At least 17 were wounded.
In Buffalo, New York, a man is accused of shooting and killing 10 members of the Black community who were shopping at Tops supermarket. In a long internet screed, he wrote about how online racist ideology and white supremacist conspiracy theories fueled his violence. Witnessing the aftermath of these horrific acts leaves us wondering, once again, what can be done to identify the warning signs of those who plan to commit mass violence—before it's too late?
We speak with Joanna Schroeder about ways to protect young people from being indoctrinated into violent white supremacist groups. Schroeder chronicles her sons' exposure to content from online racist hate groups and how she intervened.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Consider This from NPR - Taking Stock of What George Floyd’s Murder – And Life – Have Changed, Two Years Later
This week marks two years since George Floyd's murder at the hands of a white police officer and the subsequent racial justice protests and calls for police reform that spread from Minneapolis across the country. President Joe Biden has signed a new executive order meant to change how police use force among other measures, which experts say is a small — but important — step in preventing more tragedies like Floyd's death.
But as Minnesota Public Radio's Matt Sepic reports, some Minneapolis residents say they're still waiting on the reform that leaders promised.
Also in this episode, Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa of The Washington Post discuss their new biography, His Name Is George Floyd, and how those who knew Floyd best want to make sure his legacy covers more than his murder.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

The Daily Signal - Bonus: Did Law Enforcement Wait Too Long to Attack Uvalde Shooter? Security Expert Weighs in
New reporting reveals that there was an hour-long gap between the Robb Elementary school shooter's first shots in the vicinity of the school and when he was killed by law enforcement. (The Daily Signal does not name the shooter in order to keep the focus on the victims.) Now questions are swirling about law enforcement's decisions, and whether they were the right ones.
Steve Bucci, a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation and a security expert, unpacks what needs to be investigated and what are the most important questions to get answered. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
