An op-ed in the Pasadena Star-News of Gabby Giffords ’93 as the grand marshal for the 2023 Tournament of Roses Parade, which will take place in Pasadena on January 1. “Here at the 10-year anniversary of the massacre of Connecticut schoolchildren at Sandy Hook Elementary, the work Giffords is doing is one of those things that makes a person not give up faith in the possibility of progress against the insane epidemic of gun violence that sees 41,000 Americans killed every year,” the op-ed states. ” . . . What an excellent choice to be Rose Parade grand marshal.”
