FINDING OUR WAY OUT OF AMERICA’S GUN CULTURE
Watch the TEDx Talk
“In this unbiased TEDx Talk, Katherine draws from her expertise in the FBI to analyze America’s gun culture and propose the first few steps forward to achieve a societal change in the wake of hundreds of shootings per year.” -TEDxTulsa
“How are we going to change our culture? I’m not sure. There is no perfect path or single solution. If you don’t own a gun, maybe stop sanctimoniously vilifying gun owners while you watch your action films and play your video games. If you own a gun, maybe stop thinking everyone wants to take away your gun when no one has done that in 200-plus years, and just discuss and demonstrate gun safety.”
Although a somber topic, this integral discussion focuses on one of the greatest modern societal challenges and is sure to leave a lasting impression and empowerment for addressing our gun culture. Watch the video, get involved, and subscribe for no-junk emails that give you a first look at the American Violence Landscape.
Get an insider look at what we’ve learned and failed to learn about protecting our places of commerce, houses of worship, businesses, and schools while demystifying the language around active shooters, mass killings, threat assessment teams, and more.
Filled with knowledge on the current state of mass shootings in America, you will learn the definitions, statistics, and ultimately, how to be a part of the solution.
We don't need to shy away from the gun conversation. Instead, we can approach the topics of guns with the courage to learn, openness to dialogue, and the willingness to consider the many solutions on the table while discovering new ones that will benefit our communities.
We can take ownership of this challenging discussion to work together to make a positive impact.
