  • The 12th episode of “The Pitt” tackled gun violence. APHA has declared it a public health crisis. See what Slate had to say about the episode or catch it on Max and then tell your local, state and federal representatives to act to end this needless suffering. Guns shouldn’t be the leading cause of death for American children and teenagers. We deserve better. https://lnkd.in/eBaRZaE4
