Department of Justice presents Courageous Conversations on Gun Violence

Wednesday, April 18, 2018, 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Lee-Cousins Building Milne Auditorium

  

Courageous Conversations is a collaborative speaker series that examines current events and policies in our nation that directly impact our community. This discussion will focus on reducing gun violence through education, awareness, and accountability. 

Join us as facilitators guide participants through civil discussion to address current issues on gun violence and its consequences. This conversation will include facts about gun crimes, penalties, victims, and examples of cases prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. It will also emphasize the importance of building partnerships through planning, training, community outreach, and accountability in an effort to reduce violent crime in communities and keep neighborhoods safe. Small group discussions will follow focusing on crime prevention strategies and ways to implement solutions.
