On this episode I am joined by Brandon Wolf, he is the Development Officer and Media Relations Manager for Equality Florida. Where he supports initiatives to expand equality to all Americans and ensure future generations are free from discrimination in the workplace, housing and health care, in addition to other platforms. Brandon is a survivor of the Pulse Nightclub massacre where in the early morning hours of June 12, 2016 a domestic terrorist fired over 200 rounds of ammunition into the crowd inside the club killing 49 people and injuring 53 more. Brandon along with those in the club that night were simply doing as millions in this country have been doing for generations, gathering on a Saturday night to enjoy each other’s company and share a drink together. Despite that horrific evening he and so many others experienced, Brandon has moved forward to become a nationally-recognized advocate for LGBTQ issues and gun violence prevention, Brandon found his passion for social change following the shooting at Pulse Nightclub. He is a frequent contributor on state and national media outlets, having published opinion columns in USA Today, CNN digital and Orlando Weekly.
