As you know, gun violence disproportionately impacts Black families and communities.
Young people are the future: we’re seizing power and becoming activists.
Which means it’s up to us to demand more from the national discussion on gun violence prevention, to uplift the ways racial justice solutions are needed here, [[link removed]] and ensure the movement, and our work within it result in tangible changes—both or our generation and those to come.
Help us capture the momentum that has empowered young people all across the country, that young people have been building upon for years.
This panel will give you an opportunity to have some powerful truths in your back pocket.
Which means we’ve got to spread the word.
RSVP now to save your spot, (virtually) grab a friend, and we’ll see you in less than a week for this incredible event! [[link removed]]
