33. Mark Barden of Sandy Hook Promise

Stay Human

Since the tragic loss of his 7-year-old son Daniel, one of 20 first-graders and six educators murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, Mark has dedicated himself to bringing people together to find sensible solutions that will prevent future tragedies and spare other families the pain of losing a child to gun violence. As Managing Director of Sandy Hook Promise, Mark leads and manages the organization with Nicole Hockley, mother of Dylan who was killed that day. Franti and Mark discuss what his family and other families went through that day, how Sandy Hook Promise is stopping school shootings and gun violence across the country, and what you can do to take action.
