Since the tragic loss of his 7-year-old son Daniel, one of 20 first-graders and six educators murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, Mark Barden has dedicated himself to bringing people together to find sensible solutions that will prevent future tragedies and spare other families the pain of losing a child to gun violence. As Managing Director of Sandy Hook Promise, Mark leads and manages the organization with Nicole Hockley, mother of Dylan who was killed that day. Franti and Mark discuss what his family and other families went through that day, how Sandy Hook Promise is stopping school shootings and gun violence across the country, and what you can do to take action. www.sandyhookpromise.org/@sandyhookpromisewww.facebook.com/SandyHookPromisewww.facebook.com/WhatWouldDanielDohttps://twitter.com/sandyhook Michael’s most recent album ‘Work Hard And Be Nice’ is out now: https://orcd.co/work-hard-and-be-niceKeep in touch with Michael online: www.michaelfranti.comThe Stay Human podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts: www.stayhumanpodcast.com PODCAST EPISODE CREDITS:Executive Producers: Michael Franti and Activist Artists ManagementProducer: Angie Griffith for Activist Artists ManagementArtist Manager: Caitlin Stone for Activist Artists ManagementManagement Coordinator: Ashley Dill for Activist Artists ManagementSocial Media Manager: Emily Marquis for Coffeehouse CollectiveIn Partnership with: American Songwriter Podcast Network (Dan Wise, COO)  Instrumental from: “Crazy For You” by Michael Franti Audio Editing by: Max Branstetter for MaxPodcasting
