Susan Brown is a very well renowned family law attorney in Chelsea, and she’s also a passionate activist regarding gun control and safety. Twenty years ago, the Columbine High School Massacre claimed the lives of 15 people (teachers, students and the shooters) and had become known as the deadliest school shooting in America. Susan, a mother of two, became enraged, got informed, and got involved at the grass roots level. She became one of the leading coordinators of the educational crusade that lead almost 1 million angry mothers and supporters to march on the mall at Washington, demanding stricter gun control laws. Susan shares her story- the inspiration, the gratification, the threats and the fears that all went into the largest and loudest word-of-mouth grass roots movement of its time.
