America’s gun violence epidemic will never abate if we focus only on the problem — we have to look at potential solutions, too.
Enter The Trajectory, a newsletter exploring the people, policies, and programs grappling with America’s gun violence problem. If you sign up, I’ll be in your inbox every two weeks to share the stories of people and communities taking action to reduce gun violence, along with the innovative programs and policies that are making a difference.
A little bit about me: For the past few years, I’ve covered gun violence and gun policy at The Trace. When I first started, I had a more limited grasp of what can be done to address this crisis. Since then, I’ve learned a lot about what’s out there, covering local community-led intervention efforts, state policies aimed at reducing violence, and even the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Looking for paths forward has helped assuage some of the discouragement all of us who report on this beat often feel.
My goal is to provide you with valuable insights, and maybe some hope, to help you better understand the complexities of gun violence in America.
