TAP will discuss safety planning, firearms, public health approaches and more.
A Texas nonprofit is working to leverage a recent Supreme Court ruling into more protection for domestic violence survivors. , that people who have restraining orders against them for domestic violence can no longer keep their firearms. TAP provides free legal services for survivors of domestic violence, stalking and other abuse.
The organization’s chief legal officer, Bronwyn Blake, said this decision gives a renewed hope to people who are seeking safety. She also said according to a recent study, access to a gun makes it five times more likely a woman will die at the hands of a domestic abuser. At the town hall, the group will discuss safety planning around firearms, protective orders and public health approaches to keep survivors safe. TAP is partnering with local legal and social services to strategize the best ways to go about this.
