âI am grateful for the dedicated organizations who have demonstrated their commitment to showing our young people that they matter and are worthy of a promising future free from gun violence.â â D.A. Bragg. More on yesterdayâs announcement in @pix11news: pix11.com/news/local-newâŠ

âFor generations, young people have led the charge for justice. We must invest in them.â Thanks to new funding from the Manhattan DAâs Office, weâre expanding our Miller Mentorship Program in Harlem, creating space for healing, organizing, and youth-led change. Alvin Bragg


"By paying, believing in, and investing in youth, we break cycles and build futures." Watch our E.D., Shaina Harrison, speak at the DAâs press conference, highlighting youth mentors combating violence in their communities. Alvin Bragg

Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. New Yorkers Against Gun Violence stands with survivors & fights for trauma-informed solutions & youth empowerment. Summer jobs & ed programs cut violent crime by 35%. Our Miller Mentorship equips students to lead change & build safer communities.



We showed up. We spoke out. And we won. đȘđŁïžđ From NYC to Albany, nyagv rallied with students, survivors & lawmakers to demand a NY State Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Now itâs realâand permanent. Letâs keep saving lives. đ§Ą #EndGunViolence #OGVP #NYAGV #AdvocacyWorks


Today, the NYS BPHA Legislative Caucus marked Gun Violence Awareness Day of Action. I look forward to advancing solutions including my bill to stop the spread of illegal âGlock switchesâ and hold gun makers accountable. Itâs time to #EndGunViolence in NY.








It is horrific that a day of celebration was upended by an act of gun violence outside of the birthplace of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Iâm praying for the victims and their loved ones, and have directed NewYorkStatePolice to offer assistance in the investigation.

VICTORY! đ„ NY just made the Office of Gun Violence Prevention permanent + invested $347M in life-saving programs. We organized. We showed up. We made historyâwith our students, educators & advocates. Thank you Senator Zellnor Y. Myrie éș„ç & Monique Chandler-Waterman #PeoplePower #NYAGV
