Our guest Jennifer Rosen Heinz talks about raising a tween son and all about her advocacy with Moms Deman Action, an organization formed by moms to help reduce gun violence in the United States.

We talked about:
Orange is the color that Hadiya Pendleton’s friends wore in her honor when she was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15 — just one week after performing at President Obama’s 2nd inaugural parade in 2013. After her death, they asked us to stand up, speak out, and Wear Orange to raise awareness about gun violence.
Since then orange has been the defining color of the gun violence prevention movement.
