The past few years have offered no shortage of need for authentic dialogue about Seattle’s future and our nation’s future. The pandemic, racism, electoral politics, public safety, misinformation and disinformation swirl together with expanding notions of exploration, compassion, collaboration and community.
The University of Washington’s Othello-UW Commons is proud to continue Louder Than Words, a monthly series where we — UW-connected thinkers and community partners — explore some of the current forces and trends creating disparities and division, and how to act locally to find common ground, solve problems and build together.
We invite you to join us in person at the Othello-UW Commons for our last event in the Louder Than Words series this year with Dr. Deepika Nehra and Dr. Frederick Rivara on Thursday, May 11, 2023 from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. Come for a community conversation focused on “Breaking the Gun Violence Epidemic: Treating the Disease.” Gun injuries and deaths have surged since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among young men of color. Harborview, the region’s trauma center, is trying something new – the HiFi program. Peer survivors connect with patients to listen, provide support and try to break cycles of violence.
Seating is limited so reserve your spot now!
RSVP through this Interest Form.
We look forward to welcoming you — doors open at 5:30 p.m. on May 11.
