Team ENOUGH Founding Members
In June 2018, with the support of Brady, gun violence survivors Robert Schentrup and Aalayah Eastmond co-founded Team ENOUGH after 17 students and staff were brutally murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. Robert lost his younger sister, Carmen Schentrup, and Aalayah survived the shooting but carries emotional scars to this day.
Since this turning point in their lives, they’ve helped amass more than 15 Team ENOUGH youth chapters across the country, create the Team ENOUGH Executive Council and the Team ENOUGH Lobbying Collective, testified before Congress, and spoke in front of thousands at gun violence prevention marches.
Today, they continue to lead Team ENOUGH and its life-saving mission to educate youth about gun violence and mobilize them to take meaningful action against it.
Aalayah Eastmond
Aalayah Eastmond is a 2019 graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. On February 14, 2018, she was in the third classroom attacked by a gunman who murdered 17 students and staff. Turning pain to action, Aalayah has dedicated her life to preventing gun violence in America. She has been specifically vocal about the chronic gun violence that affects young Black people daily, which is particularly important to her because her uncle was shot and killed in Brooklyn, NY. She has spoken at the March For Our Lives, testified before the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, and participated in the March on Washington. She is currently the Team ENOUGH national administrator, the co-founder of Concerned Citizens D.C., and a graduate of Trinity Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Robert Schentrup
Robert Schentrup is the brother of Carmen Schentrup, one of the 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting. Ever since, Robert has worked tirelessly on the issue of gun violence prevention, serving on the Team ENOUGH Executive Council and with a myriad of organizations across the gun violence prevention space. In May 2020, Robert graduated from the University of Central Florida. Afterward, he worked at Brady as a Team ENOUGH organizing fellow, helping expand its programming with a focus on democracy reform. Feeling emotionally and physically burnt out from working in politics for years, Robert transitioned to be the director of operations at a wholesale CBD start-up. Always an organizer at heart, Robert decided to come back home and join Brady again, where he currently serves as the organizing manager for Team ENOUGH.
Adam Friedman (he/they) is an organizer and activist originally from Marin County, CA. Gun violence directly impacted Adam at 13 years old when their grandfather, a veteran, died by gun suicide. In May 2018, Adam got the chance to work with Brady, where he co-founded Team ENOUGH. Adam expanded the programmatic elements of Team ENOUGH by helping create its Lobbying Collective, the only national, youth-led group lobbying lawmakers on gun reform. Over the next three years, Adam worked with staff to build the Lobbying Collective to a robust program that operates in three states and on the federal level. Since graduating from George Washington University, Adam has continued to advocate and organize, most recently working on a frontline Congressional race in Northern Virginia.
