Poblete founded the Robby Poblete Foundation and became an advocate for reducing gun violence and creating career pathways for at-risk populations through her nonprofit.[2] The foundation and Poblete gained local, national and international attention because of the foundation's unique approach to reducing gun violence, involving not just gun buybacks, but art and vocational programs that transform the weapons into instruments of hope and opportunity. Within a year of its formation, the foundation's programs were adopted by several cities in California and Georgia. Poblete's book, "A Better Place" was released in May 2018 and offers a raw account of her journey after her son's death. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
