25: Rising From The Ashes

In a courageous display of transmutation, Lori Alhadeff and her husband started the non-profit Make Our Schools Safe (MOSS) after losing their daughter in the Parkland, Florida school shooting in 2018. Named after the departed, Alyssa’s Law is now a nationwide movement and is focused around enacting a direct notification method between classrooms and local law enforcement and creating a standard level of protection in schools across the country.
