We partnered with @TheTRIGGERProj for our 1st Youth Learning Exchange in D.C! Youth from Muskegon, MI, & D.C. met to learn about firearm violence prevention & plan projects. They shared ideas at the White House & were on the “Game Changers” podcast. 🎙️: myumi.ch/N6XwW

We attended The Exchange, hosted by @umichsph and #UMIFIP! We heard from leaders in the violence prevention field and shared our work on preventing firearm violence. Together, we can find solutions to the epidemic of firearm violence and create safer communities for all.

Youth are disproportionately affected by gun violence, yet few people ask them to identify root causes. We asked youth in the @TheTRIGGERProj what causes gun violence in D.C. Special thanks to Tia Bell for asking this research question. 🔗Full findings: ow.ly/YejE50Ql9KP

Large-scale studies have shown violence and violent injury can be reduced. @MichiganYVPC works with children and young people who have sustained a violent injury and are at risk for repeated injuries, explains @cartpatr of @umichmedicine and @UMichSPH myumi.ch/8enMj

Illegal dumping is a growing problem and environmental justice issue across the United States that particularly affects communities with elevated property vacancy. Links between blight and violence suggest that preventing illegal dumping may help prevent community violence.

We’re excited to launch a CDC-funded study exploring illegal dumping prevention as a strategy for preventing violence. This study will test the effects of simple environmental design interventions on illegal dumping activity and violent crime in Flint, MI. ow.ly/iy3q50O1rxE
