GunSense Vermont, a nonpartisan advocacy organization for common-sense gun safety measures, will honor its founder, Ann Braden, with the group's inaugural Leadership and Courage Award Sept. 6 at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center.

Braden, a former middle school social studies teacher and author of three children's books, founded GunSense following the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
