Ben Pawson brings to CeaseFirePA an understanding of the power of stories to change culture. His interest in this issue comes from 6 years in Philadelphia and living and working in cultures across the globe that have simply made different policy choices and vastly reduced gun violence in their communities.

 

He will help the work of CeaseFirePA by listening to and guiding the stories of people affected by gun violence from across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He will use his wide experience in communications and development to highlight the ways gun violence affects lives and shine a light on ways towards freedom from gun violence.
