Shikha Hamilton

The Pathology of Gun Violence

Shikha Hamilton is Regional Organizing Manager and National Chapter
Development
Manager with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
(www.bradycampaign.org),
named after Jim Brady, shot during the assassination attempt on President
Ronald Reagan in 1981, and his wife Sarah. Their advocacy of gun control
legislation led to the passage in 1993 of the “Brady Bill”, which requires
background checks on all handgun purchases at federally licensed firearm
dealers.

Shikha will describe how the Brady organization will achieve its mission
to create
a safer America by cutting gun deaths in half by 2025 through three
campaigns: a
policy focus to "Finish the Job" so that life-saving Brady background
checks are
applied to all gun sales; to "Stop 'Bad Apple' Gun Dealers" – the 5
percent of gun
dealers that supply 90 percent of all crime guns; and to lead a new
national
conversation and change social norms around the real dangers of guns in
the home,
to prevent the homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings that
happen every
day as a result.
