What is the Cities United Annual Convening?

Cities United's Annual Convening is the gathering place for all of us working to affect the lives of those most impacted by gun violence. We attract leaders from across the country, uniting under the goal of making the lives of Black men and boys and their families safe, healthy, and hopeful. Our three days together are full of learning, sharing, growing, and collaborating. Join us this year as we work to equip cities with the necessary tools to move from learning to leading.
