Lindsey Hartman is ready now. A survivor of the Highland Park parade massacre, it’s taken nine months to overcome her fears and step outside to support a cause that is at the heart of her survival.
Hartman joins more than 1,000 others, including about 200 moms from the Chicago area, who will march Monday afternoon on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to demand an end to assault weapons.
“When you think your child is going to be murdered in front of your face, it changes who you are,” Hartman told the Tribune. “It’s not normal. We’ve allowed it to become normal in our country. It’s insane.”
