#Enough

In the wake of the June 12 attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., that left 49 dead and another 53 injured—the worst mass shooting in the nation’s history—BU’s School of Public Health is launching Enough, a video and social media campaign consisting of four videos. In each, a faculty member speaks out about access to guns in the United States and the culture of hate that exists in some segments of society.
