Julie Anderson | FIRSTHAND: Gun Violence

Julie Anderson is a mother whose eldest son Eric, then a 15-year-old gang member, shot at a van carrying rival gang members. Two women were murdered instead, and Eric was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Julie has since dedicated her life to criminal justice issues, advocating on behalf of incarcerated individuals and their families.
