John— We’re thrilled to announce that after the success of last year’s gathering, [ [link removed] ]we’re hosting the second annual Community Violence Intervention Conference in Los Angeles this June! Community violence is one of the most prevalent drivers of the gun violence epidemic. The burden of this violence [ [link removed] ]tends to fall hardest on Black and Latino residents, who are disproportionately impacted by shootings. In 2022, we launched [ [link removed] ]GIFFORDS Center for Violence Intervention to champion the community organizations working to save lives on the ground, and since then our team has been researching and promoting CVI strategies, connecting stakeholders, and helping secure funding for CVI programs nationwide. One of our first acts was to [ [link removed] ]host the inaugural CVI Conference last year to bring together thought leaders in the violence intervention field. More than 600 experts and practitioners joined us to share best practices for stopping shootings before they happen. [ [link removed] ] [ [link removed] ][IMG] [ [link removed] ]

This year, we’re preparing to host an even larger audience. By creating a
forum for frontline CVI workers, gun safety advocates, and government
officials to come together, we’re helping build a national network
committed to preventing gun violence effectively and equitably.

The core of our CVI program at GIFFORDS is to uplift the strategies proven
to break cycles of violence and the community organizations doing the work
on the ground. It’s a natural extension of the lifesaving legal and policy
progress we’ve made over 30 years, and it’s only thanks to the continued
generosity of dedicated supporters like you that we’re able to host
transformative events like the 2024 CVI Conference.

With gratitude,
Paul
