How to Stop the Shooting on Our Streets and Take Back our Neighborhoods/Ghost Guns
At annual conference in October, the BWC passed a resolution declaring gun violence a public health emergency within the conference. The resolution asks each congregation to have a courageous conversation about the causes and effects of the various types of gun violence-including homicide, accidental shooting, domestic violence, suicide, school and workplace shootings-- and take some action to try to help quell the violence.
To help facilitate this, the conference social action team on gun violence prevention is hosting two webinars in February on gun violence prevention. This webinar will be on How to Stop the Shooting on Our Streets and Take Back our Neighborhoods/Ghost Guns about community violence interruption programs and also the increasing use of ghost guns in crime.
The panelists will include: Greg Jackson, head of InvestinusCoaltion.org and co-chair of Maryland Violence Prevention Coalition; Dana McDaniels, Deputy Director, Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (D.C.); and Aisha N. Bravboy, the State's Attorney for Prince George's County.
