This network started with a small group of practitioners looking to address the gun violence that happened in their communities in 2021. Join us as we collaborate and learn from one another on how to reduce gun violence in our communities!
Reducing Gun Violence in our Communities Network
We are a group of CCDA practitioners around the country who are passionate about reducing gun violence and caring for those impacted by it in our communities. We hope to do this through learning opportunities, connection, and collective mobilization.
Featured Resource
Reducing Gun Violence Toolkit
We then created this toolkit in hopes that you and your community would take steps in addressing the roots of gun violence. We invite you to hold space to pray, lament, come alongside, and advocate for your neighbors. May we purpose as a collective to love our neighbors until justice flows like a river and righteousness like a never-ending stream.
