The courage and the strength of the Parkland students are inspiring. Amid their personal pain, they have articulated a sense of rage, conviction and moral clarity over the lack of action on gun violence.

We’ll discuss effective solutions within our reach — such as group violence interventions, violence interrupters, hospital-based interventions and the Operation Peacemaker Fellowship.
