Writer-producer Matt Nix, writer-producer Aaron Rahsaan Thomas, and writer Ephraim Salaam and others are gathering this evening at Endeavor for Brady United Against Gun Violence‘s Show Gun Safety Summit.
The event will focus on how content creators can “model gun safety on screen to positively change attitudes and behaviors about guns, helping save lives,” the organization said.
It’s part of an increased effort by Brady United to the entertainment community via a culture and gun safety initiative. Their Show Gun Safety campaign has included a meeting of entertainment figures at the White House last spring, a partnership with USC’s Norman Lear Center’s Hollywood, Health and Society and a list of best practices.
Jessica Yellin will moderate the panel, with attendees also including Brady President Kris Brown and Endeavor’s Dani Potter.
Brady also is planning another event at CNN on Nov. 9, with activists Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was murdered in the Parkland school shooting, and Aalayah Eastmond, a survivor of the shooting. The event will feature a screening of the documentary Memorial, which chronicles the July 4th parade shooting in Highland Park, IL.
The organization also announced new Los Angeles staff to work on the initiative. They include two new senior advisers: Christy Callahan, former creative executive and TV writer, and Matt Littman, who led the 97percent campaign to reduce gun violence and is senior adviser to the Biden Harris reelection campaign. Also joining is Jared Milrad, a filmmaker and actor who has focused on social impact in entertainment, who will serve as director of engagement. They will work join with Brady’s Renee Davidson on the initiative.
