2nd Annual Stop Gun Violence Conference Beyond the Bullet

2026 Theme: Beyond the Bullet: Emotional Safety is Public Safety Guiding Pillars: Restoring Our Communities, Protecting Our Youth; Violence

The Second Annual Beyond the Bullet Stop Gun Violence Conference brings together community leaders, youth, law enforcement, public health professionals, educators, survivors, and service providers to address gun violence through prevention, intervention, healing, and opportunity. The conference focuses on moving beyond enforcement-only approaches and instead addressing root causes such as trauma, poverty, lack of opportunity, and community disconnection. Through workshops, panels, and community conversations, the conference provides strategies, resources, and partnerships that help build safer, healthier communities while centering the voices of those most impacted.
