Speaker: MariAn (M.A.) Klein is a founding member of the Minnesota Chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. She has been a member of the organization for 6 years and is currently on its leadership team. While she has had many roles, one she is most proud of is being on the team who helped lobby passage of the Domestic Violence bill into MN law.

Description: Each year in the United States, nearly 260 children aged 17 and under gain access to a firearm and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else. Nearly 600 more die by suicide with a gun each year. In MN, 75% of gun deaths occur from suicide. Join us as we discuss the Be SMART framework. A way to help parents and adults proactively navigate tough conversations and take responsible actions that can prevent child gun deaths and injuries.
