Stand Against Teen Gun Violence

Gun violence continues to surge in Pittsburgh and teens are in the crosshairs. “One third of the city’s 41 homicides are teens.” What are the driving factors behind the recent shooting surge? How are teens gaining such easy access to weapons? And what can be done to stem the violence? Join us on Zoom for a virtual panel discussion. Panelists include: Sala Udin, Former Pittsburgh City Councilman and School Board Member; Lavonnie Bickerstaff, Assistant Police Chief, City of Pittsburgh; Tina Ford, Founder of Mothers of Murdered Sons (MOMS); Alison Shih, Everytown Legal Counsel, North East. This event is co-sponsored by: Black Women for Positive Change, Moms Demand Action/Everytown, Squirrel Hill Stands Against Gun Violence, and CeaseFirePA. This event is being held in support of Black Women for Positive Change’s Month of Families, Opportunities and Non-Violence.
