Big Ten Dinners for Democracy

 

The University of Michigan's Alyssa Donovan and Rutgers University's Ethan Block lead an organized collaborative discussion with students across the Big Ten on preventing gun violence in America. The recent string of mass shootings has once again captured the American public's attention about gun violence in our country. Each time these tragedies occur, we see passionate pleas for regulation of guns and the raising of familiar questions about the role mental health, social media, socio-economic factors, race, and current policy play in escalating violence. Join this student-led conversation with students from the Big Ten schools to discuss what can be done to prevent gun violence.
