Join community members, partners, and leaders for the Blueprint for Peace End Gun Violence Summit on Monday, March 2, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a morning dedicated to strengthening Kalamazoo’s shared commitment to preventing gun violence, child care access, supporting healing, addressing transportation barriers, and building safer neighborhoods for everyone.
This summit will spotlight the pivotal work accomplished in 2025, including the collaborations, community-driven strategies, and lessons learned that helped move the Blueprint for Peace forward. Together, we’ll reflect on what worked, what we’re still learning, and how we continue to build trust, alignment, and momentum across organizations and residents.
We’ll also announce the priorities and initiatives ahead for 2026, offering a clear look at what’s next and how partners and community members can stay engaged, where collective action is needed most, and what success will look like as we deepen implementation. Attendees can expect a mix of presentations, panel discussions from community members, organizations, and businesses, updates, shared learning, and opportunities to connect with others committed to ending gun violence through prevention, intervention, and healing-centered approaches.
Whether you’ve been involved since the beginning or are just looking for a meaningful way to contribute, this summit is a chance to learn, align, and take the next steps together.
Breakfast is included.
