Pamela Mejia, BMSG’s Research Director and Associate Program Director, recently gave a presentation titled “Changing the Story About Firearms and Community Safety,” as a part of Big Cities Health Coalition and Prevention Institute’s Unpacking the Current Narrative webinar. In her presentation, Pamela makes a compelling case for reframing the current narrative by using language that inspires hope and healing, rather than focusing on fear and punishment.
