SUMMARY:Preventing Youth Gun Violence in Rockford - May Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Presented By: Northern Illinois Center for Nonprofit Excellence (NICNE) \nYour voice makes a difference! By working together\, we can help prevent both gun-related suicides and homicides among our youth. \n\n\n\n\nPlease join the League of Women Voters of Greater Rockford (LWVGR)\, Rockford Area Moms Demand Action (RAMDA)\, and the Northern Illinois Center for Nonprofit Excellence (NICNE) as we build upon the momentum of work being done to prevent youth gun violence in the Rockford area. \nYour presence and perspective are vital. Join us as we turn our collective efforts into a lasting framework and approach to drive change. \nAn agenda will be shared in advance. \nDetails: \n*PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN MEETING DAYS AND TIMES. The group will continue to meet on the third Friday of each month from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm. \n🗓️ Friday\, May 15\, 2026🕒 10:30 am – 12:00 pm 📍 Location: Comprehensive Community Solutions (Third Floor\, 917 S Main St\, Rockford\, IL 61101) \nSave the dates: Third Fridays\, June 19 \nParking: Please park in the parking lot directly across from the building on the East (river) side of Main Street (908 S Main St). You may also park along Kent Street. Please do not park in the lots adjacent to the building\, these spaces are reserved for staff. \nBuilding entry and meeting location: The meeting will be held on the 3rd floor. Enter the building using the blue and black door on the back (West) side of the building and head upstairs. \nAccessibility: There are two stairs to traverse to gain access to the elevator. If you need additional accommodations to participate\, please email Rebecca Francis: rfrancis@ignitechangesolutions.com. \nWhy are we working to address youth gun possession and gun violence? Firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens. Annually\, more than 4\,300 children and teens (ages 0 to 19) are shot and killed\, and more than 17\,000 are shot and wounded—that’s an average of 60 children and teens in the US\, every day. An estimated three million children witness a shooting each year; Black and Latinx children and teens are impacted by gun violence at higher rates than their white peers. Gun violence can be reduced by addressing the root causes of youth gun possession. \n \nFor more information and to register and reserve your spot\, click here.
