Susan Bro, the mother of the late Heather Heyer, walks the red carpet at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards held at The Forum on Sunday (August 27) in Inglewood, Calif.

While she is still in mourning, Susan has been working hard as an activist following her daughter’s death at the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville earlier this month.

Susan is set to present during the show.

“Since my daughter Heather Heyer‘s death two weeks ago I have committed myself to making her death count. That is why I am launching the Heather Heyer Foundation. I can think of no better platform to promote this foundation to the world than at the MTV’s Video Music Awards. It’s going to be an honor for me to be presenting the Best Fight the System award there tonight,” Bro said in a statement.

Heather Heyer‘s parents, Susan Bro and Mark Heyer, gave powerful speeches at the memorial for their daughter, who was murdered while counter-protesting the hate and bigotry by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend.

“I’d rather have my child. But, by golly, if I gotta give her up, we’re going to make it count,” Heather’s mom told the packed crowd.

“They killed her to try and shut her up, but you didn’t do that. You magnified her,” she continued. At this line, the audience rose and gave Susan a standing ovation.

After watching the memorial, celebrities took to Twitter to praise Susan‘s words and slam Donald Trump for not denouncing white supremacy.

Heather Heyer was murdered at the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday (August 12) while standing up to racism and hatred as one of the counter-protesters.

The 32-year-old paralegal was standing up to injustice as one of the counter-protesters in Charlottesville when a car senselessly drove into the crowd. James Fields Jr., the man driving the car, has been charged with 2nd degree murder.

Heather‘s last visible post on her public Facebook page reads, “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”

We’re sending our condolences to Heather‘s loved ones, and mourn her tragic loss.
