We Can End Gun Violence

We Can End Gun Violence

1052 1052 people viewed this event.

Ending gun violence alone, would be a heavy lift; however, if we each do our part, we can be successful. No individual or organization can end gun violence alone – not legislators, community members,  or elected officials. But together, we can move the needle. The African American Clergy Collective of TN (ACCT) and the TN Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (TNAAP) are ready to roll up our sleeves and work with everyone to end this public health crisis. We aim to support a public health approach to this crisis and launch a statewide campaign to support policies that reduce gun violence. By organizing our efforts, we will educate and inform to make our communities safer. We will amplify our voices to influence policymakers to act. Gun violence harms everyone. It’s a public health crisis. It is not good for business. Combining the reach of each individual and organization in a strategic long-term effort can have a significant impact in helping the majority of Tennesseans who support reform vocalize their concerns and take steps to influence change.

On October 3, at 6 p.m. CDT, please join us for a virtual meeting to discuss what a statewide campaign might look like and how organizations and individuals can participate.

Join us as we share opportunities to reshape the root causes that contribute to firearm injuries—before the gun and the ammunition ever reach the hands of those prepared to misuse them. We will share some ways individuals, families, communities, and society must shift to address gun violence as a public health crisis.
