The shootings have come at a relentless pace. Gun violence this year has cut through celebrations and funerals, places of work and houses of worship. It has taken lives in various places. And most of all, it has unfolded on city streets and in family homes. By almost every measure, 2021 has already been a terrible year for gun violence. Many fear it will get worse.
This great city has seen the collision of two major public health crises over the past year: COVID-19 and gun violence. We still don’t fully understand how damaging this collision has been, and we don’t yet fully know how it will continue to affect us. But what we do know is the effects have been far-ranging.
Please join us in a virtual shooting response on Thursday, August 5th, at 1:30 pm. We encourage family members and youth and community members to participate.
