How Moms Demand Action Is Building a Safer Future with Angela Ferrell-Zabala

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. Yet for many people, the issue can feel overwhelming, political, or impossible to solve.

This week on Working Girl, Rachel sits down with Angela Ferrell-Zabala, the first-ever Executive Director of Moms Demand Action, the nation's largest grassroots movement dedicated to ending gun violence.

Angela shares her journey from lifelong community organizer to leading a movement of more than 11 million supporters across all 50 states. Together, they discuss what effective gun violence prevention actually looks like, why common ground is more achievable than we think, and how everyday people can make a difference in their own communities.

They also explore the emotional reality of advocacy work, the role of joy in sustaining change, and why leadership is often about bringing people together rather than having all the answers.
