1.23.24: A Community Conversation About Gun Violence

How do we talk about it? How might we address it?
We are living within a gun violence epidemic. Is it acceptable? Is it inevitable?
Are there policies and practices that could prevent not just a small portion of gun violence, but deliver game-changing improvements in public health & safety?
Please join this conversation about the kind of future we want to live in.

Tuesday, January 23 | 7-8:30PM
First United Church of Christ | Northfield, MN

Questions that will shape our discussion:

  • Why is it so difficult to talk about gun violence solutions?
  • Why the chasm between what the public wants in order to prevent gun violence, and what lawmakers are willing to consider?
