Bree Butler was propelled into activism after surviving a horrible tragedy. She graduated from Santa Fe High School in 2018, only weeks after 10 students were killed and 13 others were injured in the SFHS shooting on May 18, 2018.

Bree has worked with organizations like March for Our Lives and The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and is an executive committee member for StudentsMarch.org. Get the full story below.
