Instagram post 2155466609092043443_7124201509 #ExtremeRiskProtectionOrders prevent gun suicide. In CT, for every 10-20 #ERPO warrants issued to remove firearms from individuals deemed at imminent risk of harm to self, one suicide was averted. If you know someone with access to firearms who may be a risk to himself or others, in CT contact your local law enforcement and explain the situation. #erposaveslives

Instagram post 2142513970251557060_7124201509 The theme of our CAGV 6th Annual Policy Luncheon was "How Community Activism Saves Lives" featuring Dante Barry, co-founder and executive director of Million Hoodies Movement for Justice and Dr. Wizdom Powell, Director of the Health Disparities Institute at UConn Health. Barry talked about the need to listen to and give people of color a voice in the GVP movement. Dr. Powell addressed the systemic racism, inequality and lack of opportunity that feed into higher rates of violence among African-American boys and men. Guests also heard from two activists working to save lives in our own communities. Warren Hardy leads Helping Young People Evolve (HYPE) in Hartford, and Leonard Jahad leads the Connecticut Violence Intervention Program out of New Haven. Both spoke about the critical importance of people in the community working hands on to offer hope, support, opportunities and ways to solve conflict without violence. We were also fortunate to have Senator Richard Blumenthal and Senator Chris Murphy join us, tireless leaders for change at the federal level.
