In case you missed it! On October 29, 2024, The Judge AW Center hosted a Town Hall on Gun Violence at The Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center in West Baltimore. The panel discussion was insightful, thought provoking and inspiring. They discussed the relationship between the historical legacy of Baltimore's Black Butterfly, structural violence, community violence and community violence interventions. Audience members shared their perspectives on what's needed going forward to curb the rate of gun violence.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to such meaningful dialogue. Together, we can continue to dream big and work on strategies that will keep us safe and healthy! #BlackButterfly #CommunityVoices #InclusionMatters #EndGunViolence #CommunityHealing
