I am joined today by Emi Doumerc, a digital engagement manager at the Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety and a mental health advocate. We talk about how the holiday season impacts mental health, gun safety during holiday gatherings, and the need for open and honest discussions about grief and loss. We also discuss the link between gun safety and suicide prevention, responsible gun ownership, and the prevention of unintentional gun deaths, which are among the most common causes of death from guns in society.

Having lived through gun violence herself, Emi's commitment to promoting positive change has become a part of her everyday life, from uncomfortable conversations before playdates to helping pass new gun safety laws here in Oregon.  With Emi's powerful stories and commitment to positive change, you'll be inspired and ready to join the discussion.

This holiday season, what can you do to keep yourself and your family safe from gun violence?
