2020 Democratic National Convention Virtual Roundtable on Gun Violence in America

Gun Violence in America: Uniting for a Safer Future

Wednesday, August 19, 2020 | 5 P.M. ET

As part of the DNC’s virtual programming for the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Brady joined the Community Justice Action Fund, Everytown, Giffords, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and March For Our Lives for a roundtable discussion hosted by Brady PAC on everyday gun violence in America and the importance of recognizing marginalized voices and communities in the effort to reduce gun violence.

We will discuss what evidence-based solutions really look like; the need for investment in community programs that prevent violence, rather than increases to policing; how to meaningfully address firearm suicide, which accounts for 3 out of 5 American gun deaths; the importance of policies that focus on ensuring gun industry accountability and reforming irresponsible gun dealers that profit off the illegal market of firearms; and more.
