Clergy members, lay leaders, and faith-based activists have long been at the forefront of our society’s response to gun violence, particularly in marginalized communities. But faith leaders are taking on new roles in the current crisis by working as violence interrupters, serving as street chaplains, and leading advocacy campaigns for gun control. This conference will highlight concrete steps faith leaders can take to combat gun violence in their local communities and beyond.
