Community Lawyer Network

The Community Violence Prevention Lawyers Network helps to build knowledge about community violence issues (including community violence intervention), engage new allies, and empower lawyers to be gun violence prevention advocates across public safety ecosystems and assist communities that are most impacted by this epidemic. Legal professionals in our network will have the opportunity to participate in thought-provoking discussions, CLE programs, trainings, and advocacy campaigns. The Lawyers Network will also partner with individual legal leaders and bar associations to publish resources on a range of community gun violence prevention issues.

The heart of our democracy lies in the promise of peace, security, and freedom for everyone. In this critical moment, as we come together to fight very real threats to our democracy, we are doubling down on efforts to protect the people that comprise our democracy from the ever-present threat of gun violence. Our Lawyer’s Network is another step in our fight to ensure that the communities most impacted by gun violence receive the care, support, and investments needed to interrupt violence and address its root causes.
