Two Florida mothers are lobbying lawmakers to make schools safer after each lost a child to tragedies at school.

For the past two years, Lori Alhadeff has been working with other grief-stricken parents to make schools safer after her daughter Alyssa and 16 others died in the Parkland school shooting two years ago.
