From visual art to film, we have collected media for you to use when having a conversation about gun violence prevention. Use them as discussion pieces, talking points, or even for your social media. Please tag us @BeyondGunPolitics when you do!
This Media Library is designed to give your organization artistic examples that spark interest and open dialogue. These film clips, plays, art exhibits, literary pieces and music samples represent a range of viewpoints. Remember your conversation should include active listening, along with looking for common ground. Remain open and action-oriented!
We are always looking to add to our list of thoughtful media, please help us keep it current by submitting your ideas to us at hello@beyondgunpolitics.org.
Please let us know if you use any of our resources!
