Redesigning Gun Violence Communication
© 2014 Elizabeth Kukka, Dianne Que, Bharath Haridas, Sarah D. King
My first experience with gun violence was when my friend’s older brother accidentally shot himself with his dad’s gun.
3 weeks ago I was held at gunpoint outside of my house. I still love my neighborhood.FRANCESCA

• Go deeper into these stories, and uncover the “why?”
• Engage community partners to collect and distribute information?
• Activate public spaces to address gun violence?
• Make CIR more relatable to communities?
• Strengthen 2-way communication between CIR and communities?
