Nicole Hockley In the wake of the murders at Sandy Hook Elementary, where 20 children (6 and 7 years of age) and six educators were killed on December 14, 2012, some of the grieving parents joined together to do what they could to prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again and Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) was born. Nicole Hockley's six year old son, Dylan, was among those killed and now she, and others at Sandy Hook Promise, works to give educators and students the tools they need to recognize the warning signs and prevent violence from occurring. SHP's Know the Signs program offers both students and educators training in how to be more socially inclusive and connected to one another. Research has shown that social isolation is one of the predictors of violence and teaching both kids and adults to be aware of this and how to combat it, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, is a critical piece of school gun violence prevention. This conversation was one of those that I will never forget. Hearing Nicole's take on the impact of school shootings on kids, whether they've experienced a school shooting or not, was truly sobering. I also found myself uplifted by the reach of this program and the impact of the work that SHP is doing. Among other things we talk about in this conversation are two Public Service Announcements that SHP has done. Please take a few moments and watch them, they give us insight into the experience too many of our kids are having. Teenage Dream, which is set to the lighthearted lyrics of Katy Perry's song, and Back to School Essentials are hard to watch and it's so important that we do watch and then take action. About Nicole: Nicole Hockley is co-founder and managing director of Sandy Hook Promise where she oversees organizational strategy, marketing, and development of the acclaimed Know the Signs violence prevention programs. Under her leadership, the Sandy Hook Promise is effectively turning tragedy into transformation, averting multiple school shooting plots, teen suicides, and countless other acts of violence in schools across the country.

Two mothers who lost their sons to gun violence meet up with Kim Chakanetsa in New York. This is the first of a month-long series of Conversations with women in the United States, from Alabama to San Francisco. Nicole Hockley's son Dylan was six when an armed man burst into Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012, killing 26 children and adults. It remains the deadliest school shooting in US history. Nicole says the fabric of the universe was torn apart that day and she has been trying to repair it ever since. Her organisation Sandy Hook Promise is now spreading school violence prevention programmes nationwide. She says these are "not about the gun" - they are about trying to stop the violence before guns are ever involved. Just a few weeks before the tragedy at Sandy Hook, Lucy McBath's 17-year-old son Jordan Davis was shot dead at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. Jordan was African American and the shooter was a middle-aged white man. Lucy believes race and America's gun laws both played their part in her child's murder, and she now speaks out in his memory. She is faith and outreach leader for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and Every Town for Gun Safety. Image: (L) Lucy McBath and (R) Nicole Hockley Credit: n/a
The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Maria Cuomo Cole & Kim Snyder of Newtown. After debuting at Sundance to critical acclaim, NEWTOWN opened in New York City and Los Angeles to rave reviews across the board. It's NOT just another film about gun violence and tragedy. Filmed over the course of nearly three years, the film uses unique access and never-before heard testimonies from families, first-responders, educators and clergy to explore the concept of resilience and depict how far the Newtown community has come in its recovery since Dec. 2013 and how far it has to go. It documents a traumatized community fractured by grief and driven toward a sense of purpose. With that in mind and a strong desire to advance civic discourse on around the issues of gun violence prevention, collective trauma and community response, the filmmakers are distributing the film in a unique way. On November 2, director Kim Snyder and producer Maria Cuomo Cole along with Fathom and Abramorama will host a nationwide screening and Town Hall at nearly 500 theaters across the coutnry. Following the screening, the town hall conversation will be livestreamed to all of the theaters. Moderated by CNN's Chris Cuomo and featuring the filmmakers and Newtown community members, including Nicole Hockley, whose 6-year old son Dylan was one of the 20 children murdered; Mary Ann Jacob, surviving educator; and Dr. Bill Begg, Danbury Hospital ER Vice Chair, this is the first-and-only documentary to be distributed in this way.
