Julianne Moore Instagram – This week’s #WCW goes to the eternally deserving La’Tatia Stewart. La’Tatia was a dedicated, compassionate, and resilient advocate, who fought for gun safety in East St. Louis, IL to honor the life of her son, Gregory, who was shot and killed on May 29, 2020. La’Tatia was a mother and a grandmother, raising Gregory’s young children after he was killed. Tragically, earlier this year on May 3, 2023, La’Tatia’s life was taken by gun violence.
La’Tatia dedicated much of her advocacy to the realities and the rights of survivors of unsolved gun crimes, but as of now, both La’Tatia and Gregory’s murders remain unsolved.
To honor her commitment, leadership, and legacy, @MomsDemand created the La’Tatia Stewart award to recognize a leader who exemplifies a commitment to ending gun violence, who fosters meaningful partnerships in communities highly impacted by gun violence, and who elevates and supports fellow survivors who are working to end gun violence. I’ll share the inaugural recipient of the La’Tatia Stewart award next #WomenCrushWednesday.
