It has been a big year for Tamika Mallory.
A lifelong social justice activist, she also happens to be one of the four women who created the Facebook event which would eventually become the epic Women's March and later evolve into a movement in and of itself. In June, Mallory took the stage at the BET Awards to receive the Shine a Light Award for her fearlessness, and presenter Solange Knowles praised her for all the work that she's done in drawing attention to essential causes and for raising the voices of women of color around the world.
But Mallory is just getting started. Her next project, #NRA2DOJ, will take her to Washington on July 14 to protest the NRA. The effort is a direct response to a viral — and frankly, despicable — marketing campaign from the gun rights advocacy group, but gun control has been an issue close to Mallory's heart for a long time. She's been active in changing the policy and discussion around guns since the death of her son's father by shooting in 2001, and this new project seeks to bring even more national attention to an issue which has reached a crisis point.
Mallory took some time out of her busy schedule on July 7 to speak with POPSUGAR about the new initiative, her history with activism, and why it is that gun control should be front and center for all feminists.
POPSUGAR: Let's talk about #NRA2DOJ and the origins of that, what you see coming after the actual march and how it connects back to Women's March generally....

She’s an enormous racist. Everything for her is just race, race, race, race. And, oh by the way, she wants to take away my Constitutional rights.
Not "husband", "son's father".

Note the lack of the word 'husband'.
Maybe if those in the inner city behaved more like the whites they despise, the murder rate would drop. Nah, let's clamor for gun control since we can't control ourselves.
I’m guessing a police officer wasn’t involved in his death or they would have mentioned it. Couldn’t have been a drug deal gone bad or a drive by, of course.
So today it’s ‘frankly, despicable’. Yesterday, it was just ‘chilling’.
Not even "boyfriend" or "fiance" or anything remotely resembling a romantic "other".
"Son's father".
Yeah, I stopped reading right there.
Real role model, and a GREAT way to show she's irresponsible and wants her son to have a lousy upbringing.
Her son needs a dad, not a "baby daddy"
“son’s father” — At least it sounds like she knew who he was. I suppose that’s a bit better than “anonymous sperm donor”.
Her position is that disarming law-abiding people will make them safer.
“...since the death of her son’s father by shooting...”
It wouldn’t surprise me if it was suicide. I wouldn’t blame him.
“The effort is a direct response to a viral — and frankly, despicable — marketing campaign from the gun rights advocacy group”
No it wasn’t despicable... but she is.
Maybe they should start marching in Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, etc
Only thing I care about a gun is how easy is it to clean and how big the Butt is to fit my small hands, in the largest caliber I can use as CCW!
My Taurus Ultra Lite .38 gets the job done. Need bigger, will have to get the 9 mm Ruger out of the gun save, unless the 12 gauge would be the better choice.
DUMB BRAINWASHED WOMEN!
I grew up around guns all my 68 yrs. Pry it out of my cold dead hands if I don’t get you first, and I hit what I aim at.
The Sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on,
The confrontation was a tense one,
Shook his head and said, "Bubba-boy,
You was always a dense one.
Reckless discharge of a gun,
That's what the officers are claimin'"
Bubba hollered out, "Reckless, hell!
I hit just where I was aimin'".
My wife goes to some of their protests and open carries.
They leave her alone.
These are idiots marching for “women’s rights” in an org founded and operated by a known sharia law agitproper that wants to take away *all* women’s rights.
The only proper response to *anyone* associated with that program in any way what-so-ever is SDASU (sit down and shut up).
Son’s father = baby daddy
