  • Newtown Teen Mariam Azeez Demands End To Gun Violence
    This past Tuesday, May 24, 2022, an 18 year-old walked into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas and shot and killed nineteen students and two teachers. Almost immediately, many around the country, and right here in Connecticut, began to draw comparisons to the December 14, 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
    Mariam Azeez was a first-grader in Newtown when her peers at Sandy Hook Elementary were killed.
    Now, Mariam is 15 years old. She is an outspoken activist, a poet, and a sophomore at Danbury High School. On Thursday night, Mariam performed a powerful new poem at a vigil in Newtown, where residents and neighbors gathered in solidarity with the Uvalde, Texas community.
    During this episode of Mic Check, Mariam shares about her journey, her activism, and her poetry, and performs the piece she performed at the vigil for Uvalde at Trinity Episcopal Church on Thursday night.
    To watch Mariam's performance of "When I Grow Up" from Thursday May 26, 2022 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Newtown, CT:
