Governor Gretchen Whitmer joined local Kalamazoo leaders on Thursday to speak about the importance of gun violence prevention and sign an executive order that re-establishes the Michigan Gun Violence Prevention Task Force.
The event was held at Edison Academy in Kalamazoo, where several speakers joined Whitmer in giving remarks before she signed the order, which also declared June Gun Violence Prevention Month once again.
“Michiganders are familiar with this pain, as are people in every state in this country. We remember the students who were lost at Oxford High School or at Michigan State University,” Whitmer said.
