RADIO GAG - The Gays Against Guns Show Podcast

Gays Against Guns NY is an inclusive direct action group of LGBTQ people and their allies committed to nonviolently breaking the gun industry's chain of death—investors, manufacturers, the NRA and politicians who block safer gun laws. We are New York-based but work with GAG chapters in other cities to ensure safety for all individuals, particularly vulnerable communities such as people of color, women, people who struggle with mental health issues, LGBTQ people and religious minorities. GAG condemns white supremacy, all instances of excessive force by police, and police militarization.

  1. Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round

    Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round

    Join us on Radio GAG for The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round. A bus load of gun violence prevention activists were in NYC for Guacathon 2024. On the bus, we met up with Scout Cardillo from March for Our Lives and Bulletproof Pride. We discuss how this national GVP, youth lead organization is working to address the intersectional issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community at an upcoming advocacy day in DC. Beep! Beep! Out on the street… New York City Council Member and one of GAG’s “Fierce Queenz”, Eric Bottcher introduced legislation requiring gun stores to display graphic imagery, in addition to warning signage, that conveys the health dangers of firearm ownership. GAG President, Jay W. Walker delivers inspiring words at the event. For show and tell, Change the Ref and March for Our Lives have collaborated on theshotline.org…a new way to contact your representative about gun violence. AI technology has re-created the voices of those shot and killed by guns so they can call our representatives in hopes of changing gun laws. Our in Memoriam is for the Apalachee High School shooting victims in Winder, GA. https://bulletproofpride.org/ https://www.theshotline.org/ Host: Ti Cersley Contributors: Cathy Mario-Thomas, Libby Edwards, Sarah Germain Lily, Frank Gargiulo

  2. Churches Against Gun Violence

    Churches Against Gun Violence

    Join us on Radio GAG for Churches Against Gun Violence! Christian Nationalists are grabbing headlines with slogans like “God, Guns and Country”, the more crude and sensational the better. With all the press on far right evangelical churches (was Jesus a Republican or a Democrat?), we have forgotten that churches have been a powerful force in Social Justice movements in the past and can still be today. With 40-50% of adults over fifty attending church in America, churches still have considerable political and economic clout. On our podcast today we talk with members of a grass roots, national group of gun violence prevention activists from the Methodist Church, the largest Protestant Denomination in the US. From the push for safe storage to common sense gun laws , Methodists are taking action with powerful , specific resolutions at their conference and national level, and actions and networking with gun safety groups. Views on gun regulation vary from state to state, and can make the work of gun violence prevention advocates challenging.

    Project 2025: Minorities in Jeopardy

    Radio GAG introduced Project 2025 (officially the Presidential Transition Project) in our April 7th podcast, which gave a broad overview of this right-wing Republican plan to dismantle American democracy. In the coming months, we will focus on specific aspects of Project 2025 and how this authoritarian, white-supremicist effort to restructure our government will affect us. We welcome back Anna-christine d’Adesky of “Stop the Coup 2025,” who explains how their policies will impact the LGBTQAI+ and immigrant communities, and strip away women's fundamental human rights. Please take time to investigate the links below and tune in to gain a deeper understanding of this plot and what is at stake with the coming election. https://www.stopthecoup2025.org https://rebrand.ly/NotOnOurWatch

    12 APR

    Introduction to Project 2025: The Republican Plan to Dismantle Democracy

    Project 2025 (officially the Presidential Transition Project) is the right-wing Republican plan to dismantle American democracy--a harrowing plot that reads like dystopian fiction but is all too real. These policies will turn America to an authoritarian, white-supremacist, autocratic state, much like Hungry. Anne-christine d’Adesky of “Stop the Coup 2025,” along with GAG’s Jay W. Walker, will discuss the ways in which Project 2025 will limit our freedoms—especially for members of the LGBTQIA+, immigrant and other minorities--and change the structure of our country. This may be THE most important issue we will confront in the coming months. Please take time to investigate the links below and tune in to gain a deeper understanding this plot and what is at stake with this election. https://www.stopthecoup2025.org https://www.axios.com/2022/07/22/trump-2025-radical-plan-second-term https://thomaszimmer.substack.com/p/project-2025-promises-revenge-oppression https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 https://www.semafor.com/article/02/20/2024/heritage-recruits-an-army-to-build-a-trump-presidency-playbook https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/will-the-heritage-foundations-project-2025-turn-trumpism-into-a-governing-agenda/tnamp/

    Lawsuit For Survival

    Remember Valentine’s Day before the Parkland Florida shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School? How many memories survive for the parents who lost children at that horrific event?

The suit is Joaquin Oliver vs. the USA for the right to live free from gun violence, brought by Global Action Against Gun Violence. In this episode, Manny talks to Radio GAG about the suit. Our In Memoriam is for Richard Henderson, who died not far from his home in Brooklyn, NY, standing up to bullies on the subway train.
