The Brady Center “Bear Awards” are named for Jim “Bear” Brady, who sustained a gunshot wound to the head during an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1981, and his wife, Sarah, who worked side by side with Jim to pass the landmark Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, more commonly known as the “Brady Law.”
The Brady Center “Bear Awards” honor the efforts of individuals who have distinguished themselves in their dedication to Sarah and Jim’s vision of a nation without gun violence and who embody their remarkable spirit, strength and perseverance, to the extent that anyone else can!

Hillary's day began with a TV appearance. She then delivered a major policy speech and attended the premiere of the documentary "Once and for All" which chronicles the 1995 Beijing Women's Conference. Receiving this important honor in recognition of her efforts to curb gun violence was the perfect way to end her busy day.
Our best compliments, Mme. Secretary! Well-deserved!
