Violence Reduction Summit
About this Event
Join us at the Violence Reduction Summit Kickoff
Hosted jointly by the City and the County, this convening is a critical step in our shared mission. We are moving toward one clear North Star: coming together to save lives.
During the convening, we will:
· Review a detailed analysis of gun violence trends in Durham.
· Discuss key themes and insights gathered through recent community listening sessions.
· Establish core principles to guide effective and sustainable violence reduction efforts.
Please RSVP if you would like to attend in person. In-person attendance is limited and advance registration is required to reserve a seat. The kickoff event will also be livestreamed on the City's YouTube channel for those unable to attend in person.
We look forward to working alongside you to make Durham a safer, more hopeful place for every resident.
In partnership,
Leonardo Williams, Mayor, City of Durham
Dr. Mike Lee, Chair, Board of County Commissioners
