As a tribute to Yom Kippur, Acacia Dietz & Jeff Schoep interview Josh Stepakoff a childhood survivor of the 1999 North Valley Jewish Community Center mass shooting. Josh was shot twice in the horrific attack at age 6. Today, Josh is a courageous activist who speaks out and warns about the repercussions of gun violence, hate, & anti-semitism. We discuss the toll of dehumanization, & what we can all do to make the world a little better. For more information on Women Against Gun Violence visit: https://www.wagv.org
