Commission considers June gun-violence forum; aims to invite law enforcement, judges and lawmakers
Summary
United Neighborhoods Commissioners discussed planning a gun-violence forum for late spring or early summer, likely June, and agreed to check calendars to avoid conflicts with the Fair Housing Summit.
The United Neighborhoods Commission discussed making gun violence a FY2025 priority and tentatively set a forum for late spring or early summer, with commissioners suggesting June as a possible month.
Commissioner Jeremy Taylor said the commission “spent quite a bit of time on gun violence” last month and proposed holding a forum that would include law-enforcement representatives, judges, members of the City Council and state legislators. Commissioners emphasized avoiding schedule conflicts with other community events such as the Fair Housing Summit.
No formal date, venue or formal vote was set at the meeting; commissioners instructed staff to check calendars and circulate possible June dates. Taylor said the forum would likely be held at the CK (Central) Library or the CK Newsome Center, and commissioners agreed to propose dates and solicit participant availability before the next meeting.
Commissioners discussed the forum as part of a broader, neighborhood-level strategy that includes coordinating with neighborhood associations and community patrols, especially during spring and summer months when street outreach increases. The commission did not adopt any formal resolution or budget for the forum during this meeting.
