Every year, SAFE hosts two bi-annual SAFE events to discuss research or advocacy work related to firearm injury prevention.

This September, we are honored to host Dr. Brian H. Williams, an Air Force veteran, trauma surgeon, former congressional health policy advisor, and recent candidate for US Congress in Dallas.

Dr. Williams, a member of SAFE’s National Board of Directors, will be sharing the critical shift from federal to state policies in firearm injury prevention work. Moreover, he will be discussing core themes from his best-selling memoir, The Bodies Keep Coming: Dispatches from a Black Trauma Surgeon on Racism, Violence, and How We Heal, including the intersectionality of race, racism, and healthcare as well as the broader future of the firearm violence epidemic.

He will be interviewed by Dr. Michelle Sandberg, a member of SAFE’s National Advisory Board and Pediatrician in Santa Clara, California and Clinical Instructor at Stanford University School of Medicine.

This is an event that is not to be missed! Please register if you are interested in attending our event. If you know anyone who may be interested, feel free to forward this message to them.

Date/Time: September 9th, 2025 at 7-8pm Central Time
