Our organization's community work would not be possible with our incredible Virginia Community Organizers LaTonya Wallace of @abuUnityFound & @kyygolden and our amazing Tennessee organizer @HincksonCierra.

Their work is essential to our Engaging Impacted Communities efforts.

One-third of people exposed to violence said they considered buying a firearm.

But guns don't actually make you safer. Respondents who experienced severe distress were more likely to report that a firearm was involved.

It is an honor to have @BarackObama read and share our new @EFSGV/@CSGV report: A Public Health Crisis Decades in the Making.

Gun Violence remains a uniquely American epidemic, we are hopeful Congress & @WhiteHouse can work together to find solutions to reduce gun violence.

[Lisa Geller, MPH @lisabgeller]

More than one in four homicides in the U.S. are related to domestic violence, and the presence of a firearm in a DV situation increases the risk of severe injury and death.

Thank you @prismreports for publishing this important piece I wrote regarding the need for violence prevention funding for communities highly impacted by #GunViolence. Great start to Black History Month.

Community solutions to ending gun violence need support.

Black women are working harder than ever to implement violence prevention programs, but lawmakers must show up too.

"In order to seriously address gun violence, public health organizations and political leaders must do their part to engage impacted communities," CSGV's student organizer @HincksonCierra shares in @prismreports:

"Young Black men and women are most affected so you want the people most affected leading the movement."
