On June 16th, 2022, HWCLI convened our sector focused on escalating violence and the role of cross-sector collaboration to stop gun violence and create a safer Long Island. Our President/CEO, Rebecca Sanin moderated a panel of extraordinary leaders who offered wisdom and action steps for how Long Island can lead and create a region inhospitable to violence. The room was filled with over 100 human service leaders as well as leaders in government and education.
Together, we can meet our obligations to our children and our planet to create safe homes, streets and communities so that all Long Islanders can live their best lives. Special thanks to Dr. Errol D. Toulon Jr., Dr. Jeffrey L. Reynolds, PHD, Linda Beigel Schulman, Lars Clemensen, and Stephanie Draine for such inspiring remarks and catalyzing this critical call to action.
