There are so many ways to advocate for the benefits of lower gun violence in all our communities!
One of which was the Beating Guns Workshop that was held this past Saturday.
Here Author and Activist Shane Claiborne joined us to share his experience and passion from his book.
“Beating Guns: Hope for People Who Are Weary of Violence.”
Together at this event, we had a broad discussion on domestic gun violence in addition we were so moved by the words and testimonies of individuals affected by gun violence.
To spread some awareness here are the facts of gun violence listed below:
Most Americans have died from guns in the US in the last fifty years than in all the wars in American History.
With less than %5 the world's population, the people of the US own nearly half of the world's guns.
America has the most annual gun deaths - at 105 per day or more than 38,000 per year.
