@Rosenberg4DC from @ACM_DC, panelist for Reframe #WashingtonDC said “It’s happening now all over the city... It’s not in the usual areas that you’re used to seeing violence occur. That goes to show you something that needs to be done, and it needs to be done quickly.”

My first passion: redefining firearm injury as a HEALTH problem.
Just like #covid19 - the causes, the fixes, & the ripple effects go far beyond the dominant political narratives. It's about human lives.
Thank you for anything you can give. 🧡 https://twitter.com/ResearchAFFIRM/status/1333236850958471169
