From the transcript

My name is Rachelle Parker, and I'm a volunteer leader with Anchorage Moms Demand Action. I want to thank you all for your support and also share a little bit about the work that we have been doing throughout the state with the Be Smart for Kids program, which encourages secure firearm storage. And we have partnered with the Anchorage School District and the association of Alaska School School Districts. So working with districts statewide, we've worked with pediatric offices and really any entity that's focused on child safety to encourage and educate responsible behavior around guns and model that secure storage really is the best way to keep our kids and loved ones safe. And we do a lot of suicide prevention work.
