The Consortium for Risked-Based Firearm Policy
 
 

GOOD MORNING, CONSORTIUM MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE CONSORTIUM,

 

 

January was quite the start to 2021: between the Senate race runoffs in Georgia, violent insurrection at the Capitol, record-breaking COVID stats, and the Biden/Harris inauguration and welcoming of the new administration, the month was a veritable roller coaster. As we turn now to Gun Violence Survivors Week (Feb 1-7) and Black History Month, we recognize and reaffirm our commitment to evidence-based and equitable approaches to gun violence prevention. Throughout it all, our work continues and we have new resources and an incredible amount of new gun violence research to share.
