It is a stark fact that gun violence is the number one cause of death for children in America. Reducing the risk of gun violence is not a partisan issue — nor is it a pro-gun or anti-gun binary. Gun violence is a multifaceted, complex issue which requires open, collaborative conversation from all perspectives to find effective action. Northern Door Activism group invites you to help our community take action on reducing risk of gun violence on July 9th from 3-5pm at Peach Barn Brewery. 

Attendees can participate in a collaborative effort to create a visual display of nearly 900 orange pinwheels which will represent the number of gun-related deaths in children aged 0-18 in the United States during the first half of 2023.* The visual project, which will be installed in a highly visible location in northern Door County at a later date, is aimed at bringing awareness to the high rate of gun violence — especially impacting children and young adults — and hopes to promote community action for increased gun safety and risk reduction.

During the event, Northern Door Activism will facilitate conversations around the realities of gun violence locally and various ways we can come together as a community to reduce the risk for ourselves, our families, and Door County residents. Visit northerndooractivism.com for more information..
