You may have seen Abbey Clements share her story in one minute during the Freedom from Gun Violence segment at the DNC last week. Activist in Residence Nelba Márquez-Greene (thisgrievinglife) recently sat down with Clements for 45 minutes to discuss teaching after tragedy.
Clements and Márquez-Greene share an inextricable link. Clements was a teacher at Sandy Hook School on December 14, 2012, where Márquez-Greene lost her daughter, Ana Grace.
Since that fateful day, Clements, who has been an elementary teacher for 32 years, has been a gun violence prevention activist. She is the Executive Director and co-founder of Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence (teachersunify).
