About... Surviving Gun Violence (with Nelba Márquez-Greene)
" The rhythm of activism that was expected of [the Sandy Hook families] and the rhythm of my survival were two different rhythms, and I had to pick one to survive. I chose my survival." Amongst many things, Nelba Márquez-Greene is the mother of Ana Grace, one of the 26 people that lost their lives in the Sandy Hook shooting. In this chat with Nelba, we talk about the trauma, grief, activism, and systemic injustices she has faced since losing her daughter to gun violence. As a licensed therapist, Nelba beautifully breaks down the intersection of grief, trauma, and injustice, the role that Christian Nationalism and anti-Blackness play in gun violence, and the wins she has celebrated in the fight to decrease gun violence in America.
