Please join us, along with guest speaker U.S. Rep Becca Balint, to honor the founder of GunSense Vermont, Ann Braden, with our inaugural "Leadership & Courage Award" presentation at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center on September 6th at 6:00 p.m.

As our community continues to seek positive change, it's vital that we take a moment to celebrate the outstanding individuals who have propelled us forward. Brattleboro resident, Ann Braden stands as a beacon of leadership and courage, inspiring us to work towards a safer and more responsible approach to firearms.

Following the heart-wrenching events of the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, Ann Braden founded GunSense Vermont, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to advocating for responsible gun safety measures. Her efforts have led to significant legislative achievements that prioritize safety and well-being throughout our state.

GunSense Vermont, has played a pivotal role in raising the age to purchase firearms to 21, limiting high-capacity magazines, and passing waiting periods and safe storage laws. These accomplishments reflect the organization's unwavering commitment to creating a safer Vermont for everyone.

This celebratory event is an opportunity for elected officials, community leaders, concerned citizens—including young folks—to express their collective support and commitment to creating a safer Vermont for everyone while acknowledging the significant strides that have been taken in advancing gun safety measures across the state.
