Learn how you can become an advocate for change and help reduce gun violence in Illinois.

Planned Parenthood Illinois Action’s Black Organizing Program and Young Adults for Planned Parenthood are hosting a community conversation on the impact of gun violence in Illinois. There is no doubt that gun violence is a public health issue, but its racial justice implications disproportionately affect Black communities throughout the state. Our panel of community leaders and experts will discuss community-based solutions to ending gun violence and provide resources for processing gun violence trauma. 

Panelists: Yolanda Androzzo, Executive Director of OimAim Illinois, Rev. Brenda K. Mitchell, State Chapter Co-Leader of Moms Demand Action in Illinois and a Fellow with the Everytown Survivor Network, and Stephanie Love-Patterson, Executive Director of Connections for Abused Women and Children

This is program is part of the exhibition For Those Without Choice which is presented in partnership with Planned Parenthood of Illinois.
