Stories & Events

Join us for the 3rd Annual Both Sides of the Gun — a powerful community event bringing together survivors, families, advocates, and supporters impacted by gun violence. This event creates a safe space for healing, awareness, education, and honest conversations surrounding the devastating effects of gun violence from every perspective.

Through storytelling, community connection, remembrance, and empowerment, Both Sides of the Gun aims to honor lives impacted, uplift voices too often unheard, and inspire hope, unity, and change. Together, we stand not only in remembrance of those we’ve lost, but also in support of those continuing to navigate life after tragedy.

This year’s event will feature guest speakers, survivor stories, community resources, memorial tributes, youth engagement, and opportunities to support families affected by violence. Whether you have been personally impacted or simply want to stand alongside the community, your presence matters.

Healing begins with conversation. Change begins with community.
