Gun Violence Prevention Program

By Myra Weiner
Join the dialogue! Come to a special program on Gun Violence Prevention on November 23, 2014, 4:00 n 6:00 pm at The Jewish Center, 435 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ. Invited presenters include keynote speaker Hon. Reed Gusciora, Deputy Majority Leader of the NJ State Assembly, and panelists:
•Glen Miller, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office & former NJ State Trooper
•Rev. Bob Moore, Coalition for Peace Action
•Rabbi Joel Mosbacher, Congregation Beth Haverim Shir Shalom, Mahwah, NJ
•Gianni Pirelli, Ph.D., clinical and forensic psychologist
•Mandy Perlmutter, NJ Chapter Lead of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America
The panelists will discuss several questions: (1) How can we effectively address the mental health issues related to gun violence without stigmatizing people with mental illness? (2) How can we learn to frame the conversation to convey to proponents of the 2nd Amendment that their rights are not being threatened? (3) Which laws regarding gun safety are the most effective, and how can we effectively advocate for them? Audience participation is encouraged for this important dialogue on gun safety in our community, our country, our world.
Please mark your calendars to attend this free program, sponsored by The Jewish Center Social Action Committee’s Gun Violence Prevention Subcommittee.
