We are eager to introduce a new initiative aimed at enhancing our collective impact on community gun violence. This endeavor focuses on forging stronger connections between SAFE chapters based at medical schools in cities heavily affected by gun violence, particularly amongst black and brown communities, with local nonprofits dedicated to supporting the most vulnerable.

Our goal is to cultivate meaningful partnerships between our chapters and community-led organizations. Through this collaboration, we aspire to create opportunities that will enrich healthcare providers' understanding of how to engage with and support individuals from marginalized communities facing the brunt of gun violence.

We believe that by uniting our efforts with local nonprofits, we can drive profound and positive change. For more information or to explore how your chapter can participate in this initiative, please contact our intern, Hailey Ramzan (hramzan@stanford.edu), who is ready to provide support and guidance.

Together, let’s forge a path to healing, justice, and lasting impact. Your involvement can be the catalyst for a safer future for all.
