Kelly Sampson
With a background in litigation, human capital consulting, and diversity and inclusion, Kelly Sampson works to reform the gun industry through litigation and research that exposes and redresses the industry's irresponsible marketing and sales practices. Kelly is a nationally recognized expert on the connection between racial justice and gun violence and has testified before the U.S. House of Representatives. Further, she has written a variety of pieces on the intersection of gun violence, white supremacy, racism, and extremism, including "Origin of an Insurrection: How Second Amendment Extremism Led to the January 6 Capitol Attack." In 2016, Sampson and Jon Lowy co-authored The Right Not To Be Shot: Public Safety, Private Guns, and the Constellation of Constitutional Liberties, published in the Georgetown Journal of Law and Policy. Originally from Detroit, Sampson is especially interested in addressing gun violence’s disproportionate impact on the Black community.
