Bob Iger Speaks Out About Gun Control On Sandy Hook Anniversary

Former President Barack Obama, Disney CEO Bob Iger, and Matthew McConaughey joined together on Tuesday in New York City at the Sandy Hook Promise Benefit.

Sandy Hook Promise hosted the benefit to commemorate the 10-Year Remembrance of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy and celebrate the life-saving impact of the “Know the Signs” violence prevention programs and policies. Funds raised will help empower millions of youth and adults to end school shootings and prevent violence.

Disney’s CEO Bob Iger spoke at the benefit which was started by parents of the victims at Sandy Hook. “As a grandfather, as a father, as CEO of The Walt Disney Company, I believe there is no greater or more important task than ensuring the safety and well-being of our children,” Iger said.

“Those of us who are in positions to affect change, whether it’s by influencing laws of shaping culture or supporting organizations on the frontlines, I think we have an extra responsibility.”

He also said preventing shootings before they happen “should be among our highest priorities.”
