Kristin Song became a gun safety activist after her 15-year-old son Ethan was killed with an unsecured gun in his best friend's house. In the second episode of our Shared Humanity: The humans behind the headlines podcast and video series, our activist in residence Nelba Márquez-Greene talks to Song about safe storage and how the unjust loss of a child changes life forever.
Song’s unifying approach in Connecticut resulted in the passing of Ethan's Law with overwhelming bipartisan support. The law requires all guns to be secured if a child or unauthorized person can gain access. Now Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland have passed child access prevention laws and Song is currently working with six other states to pass Ethan’s Law.
