Beverley Moore grew up amid gun violence in the inner city. When she became a mom, she made the decision to move to the suburbs because she worried about her son's safety.
For the most part, Beverley has found what she was looking for: a sense of peace and relaxation.
But even now, guns are a fairly ubiquitous part of her life. Her friends have lost loved ones, her ex-husband’s job keeps him in close proximity to violence, and the families she works with in the foster care system are often impacted by gun violence.
Beverley recognizes that we’re all touched by gun violence, even when we try to seek distance from it.
