Gun violence has touched a broad cross-section of our city and our country, and remains a persistent public safety issue. The LWVSPA Gun Safety Action Team believes we must “think globally and act locally.”
We invite you to hear three local panelists - City Council Vice Chair Lisa Wheeler-Bowman, Rev. Manuel Sykes, and facilitator Ryan Mitchell - share their personal stories and professional insights, then join us in exploring how we can, as a community, be effective advocates.
This event is purposefully scheduled during the 2018 Florida legislative session and will be outcome- and action-oriented.
Goals: information sharing, reaching new audiences, facilitating action, and partnering with like-minded organizations to increase awareness about gun safety.
Learn more about this issue by reading our Gun Safety Action Guide and watching our recent community conversation with St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway.
