Some opportunities for exhibiting include:
- Farmer’s markets
- Health fairs
- Community nights out
- Street fairs

- Community centers
Partnering with other groups allied with gun violence prevention can lead to exhibiting opportunities:

No matter how big or small, your presence starts a conversation!
