The group that uses white women protesters led by women of color had asked Governor Jared Polis to sign an executive order banning guns.
"We weren't asking for permission," Rao says.was to use white women — a demographic she describes as having"the most power in the country" and"the most privilege" — to go after gun rights in ways that would get ignored if pursued by minorities, she says.
Rao and other Here4TheKids leaders asked minority activists not to go to the June 5 demonstration as a matter of safety, according to Rao, who also stayed behind because she is not white. She says she doesn't know if the fact that the majority of the protesters were white women ultimately prevented police from getting involved, but notes that"it couldn't have hurt.
Because of the lack of incidents on June 5, Here4TheKids invited activists of all skin colors to attend the later rallies. "It [felt] very safe for everybody, and that's why we went down there ourselves," Rao says, referring to herself and Here4TheKids co-founder Tina Strawn. Among those who showed up this week was actress Lake Bell, known for creating and starring in the TV series."I am a staunch supporter of the work that she does," Bell says of Rao, adding that the strategy of Here4TheKids"felt logical."White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better,"That was pretty indelible for me," Bell says.
In late March, Rao called Bell and asked her to be involved with Here4TheKids. Bell began spreading the word about the movement on social media and among her personal circle.
