Travis County proclaims June 2026 Gun Violence Awareness Month, highlights HVIP coordination
Summary
The Commissioners Court proclaimed June 2026 as Gun Violence Awareness Month, heard nonprofit and DA's office remarks, and tied the proclamation to ongoing hospital‑based intervention work and an upcoming prevention summit.
Judge Annie Brown read a proclamation recognizing June 2026 as Gun Violence Awareness Month and the court adopted it unanimously. The proclamation cited national and state gun‑death statistics and local medical examiner trends and invited community organizations to continue prevention and response work.
Nonprofit leaders and Amber Goodwin from the District Attorney's office thanked the court and noted coordination between the county's HVIP pilot and community partners, and reminded the court of a gun violence prevention summit scheduled for the coming Friday. "The coordination between community organizations and the HVIP has been great," a nonprofit representative said during remarks.
