Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Announces Gun Violence Prevention Summit and Roundtable
Jackson Lee: “If we are serious about tackling gun violence, then we must take reasonable, commonsense steps towards that end. This is why, on September 3, 2019, I will be hosting a gun violence prevention summit and roundtable. This meeting will include members of law enforcement, medical professionals, statisticians, parents and community leaders. It will include stakeholders who, like me, are sickened by the incidences of mass shootings and gun violence. It will require attendees to explore how, collectively, we can stem the tide of this uniquely American scourge. All attending will recognize that this time cannot be a time where we do nothing. We must do something. This includes urging the Senate to pass pieces of legislation which have already cleared the House of Representatives. In February, the House passed H.R. 8, legislation designed to implement universal background checks in all gun purchases, and H.R 1112, which would close the “Charleston Loophole.” Passing commonsense gun violence prevention legislation also means ensuring that weapons of war are not readily accessible to the wholesale public, enabling the most perverse and dangerous to inflict carnage. This includes limiting the amount of ammunition readily available, so that the bloodshed inflicted by the shooter in Dayton is not again replicated.”

Obsidian Theater Presents For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf
Once described by New York Daily as, "A triumphant event, filled with humor. Pure theatre" and Time Magazine as "A poignant, gripping, angry and beautiful work,” it is obvious that For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf, lives up to its raving reviews. So, when I heard the Obsidian Theater was bringing the production to Houston, it was no doubt that I had to be there. Having seen the movie by director Tyler Perry, I knew what I was in store for but I was not prepared for how deep the cast would dive into their roles.
