  • Testimony of Aalayah Eastmond Senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Before the United States House Judiciary Committee February 6, 2019
    Testimony of Aalayah Eastmond Senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Before the United States House Judiciary Committee February 6, 2019 Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Collins, and other members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to be here today to share my experience and perspectives on gun violence in America. My name is Aalayah Eastmond. I am a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. While it is an honor to be before you today, it is only because horrific events have compelled me. Next Thursday will mark exactly one year from the day that 17 of my fellow schoolmates and educators were shot and killed, 17 more injured. Thousands more -- like me -- were fortunate to walk away with our lives that day but we will never be free of the terror. Some will carry visible scars, but all of us were scarred emotionally, for the rest of our lives. I was in my 4th period Holocaust history class. We were presenting our projects on hate groups found on college campuses. I could never have imagined my group partner Nicholas Dworet would’ve saved my life in moments to come. As we sat at our desks working on our computers after presenting our projects, we began to hear loud pops. When the gunman shot into our classroom, Nicholas Dworet was in front of me. The gunman’s bullets hit and killed him and Helena Ramsay. As Nicholas fell, I matched his every movement and hid beneath his lifeless body as bullets riddled my classmates. I thought I was going to die.

  • Annual Report Fiscal Year 2020 RED, BLUE, and BRADY
    Annual Report Fiscal Year 2020 RED, BLUE, AND BRADY There’s red, there’s blue, and then there is Brady. The title of this report is not only the name of Brady’s podcast; it represents a way of thinking. At Brady, we take action, not sides, and this past year has shown us how important empathy and compassion are to our movement. Brady’s mission to prevent gun violence and save lives is possible only when we listen to the voices of those most impacted and learn from their stories. From coast to coast, liberal and conservative, red and blue, young and old — even when faced with what seems like insurmountable differences, we must come together. We can find resilience within one another, and together we will create a better, safer country for all. Brady is composed of Brady Center, 501(c)(3), and Brady Campaign, 501(c)(4). This report details the cumulative work, successes, and financials of both arms of the organization. KEVIN QUINN KRIS BROWN BOARD CHAIR PRESIDENT Dear Brady followers and supporters, Dear Brady supporters, I hope this letter finds you, and those around you, well as we continue to face Greetings to each of you! I echo Kevin’s sentiments in hoping you are all an ever-changing landscape. The pandemic has impacted our health, our keeping as safe as possible throughout the coronavirus pandemic. economy, and our nation’s ongoing gun violence epidemic. It has felt, and can feel, overwhelming, but at Brady it has also sharpened our focus in the wake of COVID-19 has changed the landscape of gun violence in our country.

  • Broward Schools Mark Dual Milestones Marjorie Stoneman
    Volume 97 Number 46 | JULY 1-7, 2020 | MiamiTimesOnline.com | Ninety-Three Cents Broward Schools mark dual milestones School will resume with a hybrid model and seniors hype an app JULIANA ACCIOLY Miami Times Contributor Broward County public schools shutdown in March due to the new coronavirus and shifted to online learning. Three months later, the district has announced a tentative reopening plan for the 2020 - 21 school year. On June 20, Broward County Superintendent of Schools Robert Runcie said that schools will reopen on August 19 according to the physical distancing and health protocols that limit transportation and on-campus populations. Runcie said that BCPS has been exploring what to do through electronic surveys and based on responses by more than 80,000 parents/guardians, teachers, staff members, and students, Florida's second-largest school system is to adopt a hybrid educational format. The goal, said the superintendent, is to safely maximize the amount of time in school through a staggered days ap- proach, where four days a week students will be separated into two groups that will al- ternate between class- room-based instruction and distance learning. To further shield the community from infec- tion, Wednesdays will be reserved for e-learn- ing only while deep cleaning and sanitation take place on school grounds. Athletics, Robert Runcie including cheerleading and band programs are to resume in mid-July with a phased approach. "We don't have this all figured out. And we also know that with whatever decisions we make it still won't be an ideal situa- Rep.
