You may be wondering why it took me over two weeks to post, and one of the main reasons is that I’ve been hard at work on the website for Breaking the Wall of Silence (BWS). It’s not nearly finished, but the main information on the organization’s mission and programs is up. I realize that I have not gone into a lot of detail about the work that BWS does (its programs combatting gun violence are only a part of its focus), and I figured that unveiling its new website would be a good way to formally introduce it. The Home, About Us, and Approach and Activities pages are active; I especially recommend checking out the “About Us” page to get the basics on BWS’s history and mission. So, here goes: I give you Breaking the Wall of Silence!
