One life lost has a profound and far-reaching impact on many. On November 15, 2022, my life changed forever when my youngest brother, Rajan, was killed by gun violence. Raj’s death drew my family into the mission of ending gun violence so that we can prevent other families from going through what we experienced. For months after Raj’s death, I was searching for a way to make a long-term, systematic impact in gun violence prevention. It finally became clear to me how inKind can play a role in preventing gun violence earlier this year when I met Dr. Chethan Sathya MD, a pediatric surgeon in New York who specializes in gunshot victims. Chethan shared that an impactful way to prevent gun violence in America is by providing economic opportunity in underrepresented communities. This made it obvious to me how inKind can help to prevent others from losing a loved one to gun violence. inKind can leverage our superpower of funding and operating financially sustained restaurants to provide job opportunities and workforce development in underrepresented communities, ultimately preventing gun violence. I was honored to attend a convening at the White House in Washington, D.C. last week to discuss the role of the hospitality industry in preventing gun violence. The event was hosted by the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which has made huge strides in the gun violence prevention field over the past four years, notably through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. During the event, we discussed strategies for preventing gun violence in America, and how leaders in the hospitality industry can be involved in the solution. By creating jobs in underrepresented communities, restaurants can provide an avenue for economic opportunity, thus preventing gun violence. I look forward to continuing my partnerships with the Milken Institute, Northwell Health, JINYA, DCity Smokehouse, Lion Hospitality, Kitchen of Purpose, Union Square Hospitality Group and more to further the mission of saving lives from gun violence.  Losing my brother is the worst thing that has ever happened to my family. Gun violence is a solvable issue, and this has been proven by the reduction in gun violence deaths from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Now, it is up to the rest of us to work together to continue executing on the work of gun violence prevention so that we can continue saving lives. My hope is that fewer families in America will ever have to experience what we did.

🏛 inKind went to the White House! inKind was honored to attend a convening at the White House in Washington, D.C. last week. Conversation throughout the day focused on the active role of the hospitality industry in preventing gun violence through providing workforce development, resources and tools in low-income communities. The event was hosted by the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which is responsible for recommending policy options to promote evidence-based gun violence prevention strategies and promotes related data collection. 💛 Our CEO and co-founder, Johann Moonesinghe, engaged in discussions with key leaders in the gun violence prevention field and hospitality industry. He also shared his personal experience with gun violence. 🎓 We explored how creating youth economic opportunities and job training programs can help address the root causes of community gun violence. Through conversation and collaboration, we are continuing to raise awareness and drive meaningful change. 🤝🌟 #CommunityImpact #GunViolencePrevention #EconomicEmpowerment #RestaurantIndustry #Philanthropy #WhiteHouse #EndGunViolence
