On May 16th, 2026, we are proud to host our first-ever non-partisan Governor Candidate Forum in Detroit. This is a unique opportunity for our community to engage directly with candidates running for Governor. Each candidate will be invited to share their vision for keeping Michigan communities safe and to answer our questions about how they plan to be true champions for gun violence prevention.
May 16: Candidate Forum from 2 pm - 4pm | Organization Fair 4 pm - 5 pm
Cathedral Church of St. Paul, 4800 Woodward Avenue, Detroit
This forum isn’t just about hearing from the candidates. It’s about making sure the voices of survivors, advocates, and community leaders across the state are at the center of the conversation.
Candidates will be asked to address the following topics:
-Protecting our schools & children.
-Suicide prevention.
-Community violence intervention.
-Domestic violence.
-Holding the gun industry accountable.
-Protecting our democracy.
After the forum, we will host an organization fair so attendees can get involved with local groups that are working every day on these issues.
Space is limited! Register today to secure your spot.
