Trinity Teach-in on Gun Violence: Day of Dialogue and Action
On Friday, March 23, the day before the March For Our Lives, the Trinity community gathered together for a day-long Teach-In on Gun Violence, with panels, discussions and displays on gun violence. The day was filled with powerful, sobering, thought-provoking, emotional and challenging conversations. See the schedule of panels here.
The Catholic News Service covered one of the Friday sessions at Trinity, Preventing Gun Violence – Policy Analysis and Citizen Activism, with a feature article and video:
