In June 2018, Brady launched Team ENOUGH, our youth-led initiative, with founding members and gun violence survivors Robert Schentrup, Aalayah Eastmond, and Adam Friedman, along with eleven other young leaders to serve on the Team ENOUGH Executive Council, the program’s governing body. Together they’ve established a growing number of chapters across the country, established the Team ENOUGH Youth Advocacy Training Program, testified before Congress, spoken with the press, and led thousands at gun violence prevention marches nationwide.

Aalayah Eastmond is a 2019 graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.

Turning pain to action, Aalayah has dedicated her life to preventing gun violence in America. She has been specifically vocal about the chronic gun violence that affects young Black people daily, which is particularly important to her because her uncle was shot and killed in Brooklyn, NY. She has spoken at the March For Our Lives, testified before the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, and participated in the March on Washington. She is currently the cultural community and engagement manager, a national spokesperson for Brady, the co-founder of Concerned Citizens D.C., and a graduate of Trinity Washington University in Washington, D.C.
