Stand With Us

As a committee of healthcare and academic professionals, we all recognize how this neglected emergency eats away at the cohesive fabric of our community, one gunshot victim at a time. We intend to use this website to inform and inspire lawmakers and the community to recognize that the under-regulated proliferation of firearms in our nation has led to a public health epidemic.

Thank you to everyone who joined our 5th Annual Community Advocacy and Violence Prevention Summit!

Loyola Stands Against Gun Violence hosted a gathering of Loyola and Chicagoland community members to discuss the power of voting, fighting for change, and advocacy strategies to reduce gun violence. The 2024 summit was led by an interdisciplinary committee of gun violence prevention activists including keynote speaker, X González, co-founder of March For Our Lives. This event aimed to educate and empower a generation raised on gun violence to take action within their communities.

In addition to the keynote, the summit included an advocacy workshop, panel discussions, and an exhibitor hall featuring local organizations fighting to end gun violence.
