Learn more about the upcoming physician fly-in led by Drs. Emily and Elliot Lieberman, who are physicians, parents, and survivors of the 4th of July parade shooting in Chicago’s Highland Park. Since the July 4 shooting, Lieberman has “helped recruit over 50 physicians and experts across 24 states to meet with senators and other policymakers in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 6 and 7.”

Working with the nonprofit advocacy organization, March Fourth, the group of medical professionals will share information about why mass shootings are a public health crisis in demand of a public policy solution.
