Connections: Fred Guttenberg, anti-gun violence activist and author of "Find the Helpers"

We're joined by Fred Guttenberg, an anti-gun violence activist whose 14-year-old daughter Jaime was killed in the Parkland school shooting in 2018. Her death came just four months after the loss of his brother Michael, an emergency medical worker who died of a 9/11-related cancer. Since his daughter's murder, Guttenberg has dedicated his life to advocating for gun safety legislation and, in his words, "break up the gun lobby." His new book, "Find the Helpers," chronicles his work and highlights the people who have been part of his and his brother's journey.

He is our guest for the hour:

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
Megan Mack is the executive producer of "Connections with Evan Dawson" and live/televised engagement programming.
