Communities Fighting Back to Prevent Firearm Violence
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at 2:00-3:00pm E.T.
Can communities sustain the fight against firearm violence amid shrinking federal support? In Newark, New Jersey, local funders and advocates are showing what’s possible.
This panel brought together public health leaders, funders, and community advocates for a conversation on how democratizing access to data can empower community organizations as collaborators for public safety, and how funders can invest in, scale, and sustain these efforts. Although this discussion was rooted in Newark’s urban setting, the approaches highlighted offered valuable lessons for all funders interested in community safety.
