Learn about Gun Violence with the Reform Movement

The RAC is very excited to announce a new opportunity for individuals and congregations to engage around the issue of gun violence. On February 23 at 12:00 ET, we will be launching our Active Learning Network webinar series on gun violence prevention, and we want you to join us!

This Active Learning Network will consist of 4-6 webinars over the next few months for congregations that want to learn about gun violence prevention and who may want to experiment with programming around this topic in the near future. The webinars will feature presentations and conversations with issue area experts and members of our own community who are already engaged in gun violence prevention work.

WHAT: Gun Violence Prevention Active Learning Network Webinar #1 

TOPIC: What is the Problem? An overview of gun violence, and the challenges congregations face in taking action featuring Tim Daly, Managing Director for Guns and Crime Policy at the Center for American Progress

WHEN: Tuesday, February 23 at 12:00pm ET 

WHERE: Join by phone or using a computer and webcam

WHO: Although the Active Learning Network is open to everyone, we hope that you will participate with a small team from your congregation so that you are the most prepared to take what you learn and turn it into programming and action. Congregational teams may include clergy, congregational staff, social action leaders, youth group members, WRJ and MRJ leadership, or any other interested lay leaders.
