Youth are disproportionately affected by gun violence, yet few people ask them to identify root causes. We asked youth in the The TRIGGER Project #WeArePrevention what causes gun violence in D.C. Special thanks to Tia Bell for asking this research question. 🔗Full findings: ow.ly/YejE50Ql9KP

We attended The Exchange, hosted by University of Michigan School of Public Health and #UMIFIP! We heard from leaders in the violence prevention field and shared our work on preventing firearm violence. Together, we can find solutions to the epidemic of firearm violence and create safer communities for all.

We presented our findings at #SAVIR2024 with The TRIGGER Project #WeArePrevention and alongside fellow Youth Violence Prevention Centers! We shared that centering youth needs is not just a prerequisite for engaging youth in violence prevention. It IS prevention. Learn more: bit.ly/3QbhkCh
