Approximately 450 people in our state are killed by guns each year. Families and neighborhoods are devastated daily by these tragic, violent deaths. Lives lost to gun violence are an ultimate injustice, because we know gun violence is preventable when policy makers and the public make the right choices. Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort (WAVE) and Public Allies Milwaukee/UWM School of Continuing Education joined forces to organize a 450-mile Journey for Justice, a traveling exhibit featuring 450 shirts representing the victims of gun violence. This video highlights the tour, the problem, and what you can do.  WAVE is a WNPJ member group.
