Violence Interrupters at Work
Sponsor(s):
Dear Friends,
Gun Violence Awareness Month takes place every June to shine a light on the heartbreaking number of individuals and communities across the country that are harmed by gun violence. While mass shootings make headlines, community violence intervention and violence interrupter programs often do not. Yet efforts to stop the cycles of violence and address the root causes of systemic injustice are very important.

We will hear from two organizers working to empower their communities and build safer futures: the Reverend Frederick LaMarr, pastor and grassroots organizer with Ministries 4 Movement in Columbus, OH, and Ashley Myers, who has spent the last nine months organizing in Denver, CO. She was part of FCNL’s Advocacy Corps to support violence interruption programs. If you can't make it, we will send a recording to everyone who registered.
