Follen people who took part in the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace in 2016

Gun Violence Prevention Group

In 2021, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 48,830 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S., according to the CDC.

Follen’s Gun Violence Prevention Group is a member of the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence which seeks to keep awareness and understanding high, and to rally public support for specific legislation. 

We support the Louis D. Brown Peace (LDB) Institute and every year Follenites participate in the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace (see photo above). 

We continue to explore solutions to injustices that minority groups face with regard to violence. To join the conversation, or for more information, contact Anne Grady at gvp@follen.org.
