SXgood Stories: Ending Gun Violence
What if the nation's leading social innovators, schools, university campuses, and business and community leaders came together to scale the best entrepreneurial solutions to end gun violence? Sounds crazy? After all, gun violence is one of the most stuck issues in the nation’s history.
At this SXgood Hub session we seek to do what innovators do best - take a new and disruptive approach by focusing on social innovations that are solving entrenched problems like mental health, community tensions, ethnic and religious conflicts, domestic or family violence, lack of data, and alienation of young people. Innovations that could be scaled to make a significant dent on the gun violence epidemic in the country.
So join us for the Ending Gun Violence SXgood Story + Lab to understand, contribute to and help scale solutions that could bring the power of social entrepreneurship to a problem that badly needs a fresh take.
