 gun violence epidemic in America claims 100 lives every single day. Looking 
 to create urgency and drive change, the Gun Violence Memorial Project, 
 designed by MASS Design Group, features four houses built of 700 glass 
 bricks, with each brick representing a victim of gun violence, and each 
 house representing the average number of American lives taken by gun 
 violence each week. \n\nThe Memorial Project invites family members to 
 contribute stories and remembrance objects to be housed in a glass brick, 
 as a way of honoring their loved ones. \n\nAs part of the Gun Violence 
 Survivors Week, Jha D Williams, Senior Associate from MASS Design Group; 
 Pam Bosley, Mother of Terrell Bosley, and Annette Nance-Holt, Mother of 
 Blair Holt, Co-founders of Purpose over Pain , and Debbie Weir, Senior 
 Managing Director for Organizing and Engagement from Everytown for Gun 
 Safety, honor lives taken, and discuss the memorial and the act of 
 transforming the narrative of gun violence. 
 \n___________________________________________________________\n\nThe Gun 
 Violence Memorial 
 Project\n\nhttps://massdesigngroup.org/work/design/gun-violence-memorial-project\n\nThe 
 Gun Violence Memorial Project is a space of remembrance and healing for 
 individuals impacted by gun violence. Gun violence is a national epidemic 
 that touches every community in America. The sheer scale of this epidemic 
 often reduces victims of gun violence to statistics and ideas of change to 
 empty promises. \n\nThe memorial seeks to preserve individual memories and 
 communicate the magnitude of the gun violence epidemic in built space, 
 hoping to foster a national healing process that begins with a recognition 
 of our collective loss and its impact on society. MASS is partnering with 
 conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, and gun violence prevention 
 organizations Purpose Over Pain and Everytown for Gun Safety on this 
 project. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/01/29/18839657.php
