After the Covenant School shooting in the spring of 2023, three Covenant moms — Melissa Alexander, Mary Joyce, and Sarah Shoop Neumann — set out to pursue gun reform here in Tennessee. The women were lifetime conservatives and supporters of the Second Amendment. WPLN senior reporter Meribah Knight documented the women’s efforts to impact Tennessee state politics where the Republican Party holds a supermajority. You can listen to the full story on NPR’s Embedded: Supermajority.
Today, we’re speaking with Knight about creating the series and hearing from the women themselves about their experience and where they are today.
