Film, Discussion, and Havdalah
September 17, 2016, Temple Micah
5:00-7:45 pm, with refreshment break
What do we really know about the impact of gun violence in urban areas, and particularly on communities of color? Join us for a screening of the one-hour documentary "Shell Shocked", which explores patterns of gun violence in New Orleans – patterns shared by cities like DC – and highlights solutions. Our post-film discussion will explore community approaches and Jewish responses.
Panelists:
Cynthia DeShola Dawkins, founder of Timothy Dawkins-El Project, co-founder, Coalition of Concerned Mothers (COCM), and organizer with Code Pink and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense Survivors' Network
David J. Horowitz, co-founder, Project End Gun Violence, and long-time advocate for public health approaches to gun violence prevention
Moderator:
Margriet (Meg) van Achterberg, M.D., Temple Micah member, gun-sense advocate, and psychiatrist with a focus on children, teens and young adults.
Our program closes with a brief ritual to separate from Shabbat, with prayers for peace as we move back into the world of everyday life and work.
