ABOUT US

In 2016, Focused Interruption was created by a small group of volunteers committed to taking action to end growing gun violence in Dane County. Many of these volunteers were directly impacted by gun violence and the criminal justice system. Under the guidance of Anthony Cooper, Focused Interruption has grown from a group of volunteers to a trusted partner in Madison and across Dane County.

 

Much more can and should be done. With increased funding, staffing, and programming, Focused Interruption will continue to collaborate with local, state and national organizations to address the growing trend of gun violence in Dane County.
