Leading the charge to dial back gun violence

Mark Glaze '92 is the son of a former licensed gun dealer and NRA member who has become the face of the gun control movement in the U.S. He served as executive director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, now called Everytown for Gun Safety, a bipartisan group co-founded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. Under his leadership, the coalition grew from eight full-time employees to more than 80, and from 450 mayors to more than 1,000 from 46 states, and counted more than 2 million grassroots supporters and 2,000 advocate-lobbyists, including gun owners, law enforcement officers, gun violence and domestic abuse survivors, faith leaders, and educators.
