On the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting at the Highland Park, IL Fourth of July Parade, host, Lindsay Pinchuk reflects on the last year before re-sharing her conversation with Kitty Brandtner, Founder of March Fourth, from nearly a year ago.

Let this episode be a reminder that:

1. We do not have to live like this.
2. There are small steps that anyone can take to help change gun control laws---and they have big impact.
3. Together we can accomplish so much.

Think about the meaning of Independence Day—what does it mean to you and how you want to live your life. 

And as the next two days unfold in front of you….let this be a reminder to enjoy them.  Unplug, Rest. Recharge. Eat that burger at the BBQ, go for a swim, connect with friends, hug your loved ones. 

Because when you really think about it that is what Independence Day should be all about. 

Quotes

• “It is this incredible group of mostly women, but also men. It’s not just moms and it’s not just parents—it’s people from all walks of life. But the common theme is that we don’t believe that we should feel unsafe going to a grocery store, concert, parade, sending our kids to school, etc. It shouldn’t be this way.”(14:19-14:43 | Kitty)

• “Part of what makes this easy is we only have one goal, there’s no convoluted six-step plan. Our goal is to federally ban assault weapons and to do it right now. That’s it.” (16:45-16:59 | Kitty)

• “When there’s a will, there’s a way. If something matters and you put all your energy into it, you’re going to make it happen. There’s no alternative.” (27:00-27:09 | Kitty)
