The 2024 election result was not what we fought for, but the gun violence prevention movement is prepared for the battles ahead. Join us TOMORROW to hear what a Trump presidency will look like and what opportunities exist to make progress in states nationwide.

Trump’s federal funding freeze could have devastating consequences: shutting down domestic violence shelters, suicide hotlines, and law enforcement efforts to fight crime, among many other things. These programs aren’t political footballs and jeopardizing them could cost lives.

FAA employees with disabilities did not cause last night's tragic plane crash. The investigation into the crash is still ongoing. It is extremely inappropriate for the President to use this tragedy to push an anti-diversity hiring agenda. Doing so makes all Americans less safe.

Donald Trump waited until Friday night to issue an Executive Order rolling back lifesaving gun measures because he knows it will be incredibly unpopular. Call your Senators & Representatives and have them tell AG Pam Bondi not to put our kids' lives at risk:📱(202) 224-3121

A GIFFORDS Gun Owner for Safety from Maine shares how confirming Kash Patel to head the FBI will make us all less safe. An unqualified and unserious candidate like him won’t stop the gun violence crisis. He will only enable it. bangordailynews.com/2025/02/14/opi…

Trump's executive order eliminating the Dept. of Ed is a direct attack on millions of kids—gutting funding for: ❌Head Start ❌Free Lunch ❌Title I Schools ❌After school programs ❌Special education and more. House Democrats and I won’t let them rob our children of the

Gun violence is the number one killer of kids and teens in America. Instead of working to end this crisis, the Trump administration is cutting vital resources and research that we need to understand the full scope of the gun violence epidemic. This will make us all less safe.

NEWS: AG Pam Bondi is repealing Biden-era ATF "zero tolerance" policy against gun dealers -- a 2021 rule that revoked the licenses of federally licensed dealers found to have falsified records and skipped background checks, per 2 sources familiar w/ the move.

Our president claims that America’s gun violence crisis is a mental health issue, not a gun issue — then turns around and slashes $1 billion in mental health resources for kids and schools 🤔

NEW: Battleground voters—including Trump supporters—strongly reject GOP efforts to make gun silencers easier to get. Silencers make shootings deadlier, and voters know it.

3 years ago, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act became law, delivering the most significant gun safety progress in decades. Since January, the Trump agenda has tried to unravel that progress: gutting mental health funding, weakening gun laws, and putting communities at risk.

AG Pam Bondi: I would never cut a grant that would hurt women or law enforcement. Also Bondi: Cut more than $800 million in funds to local violence intervention groups that keep women, law enforcement, and our communities safe. The Trump administration must immediately restore

Republicans added a silencers policy that will cost $1.7 billion—an outrageous price tag for a policy that makes it easier to commit violence undetected. It's fiscally reckless & morally indefensible: billions of taxpayer dollars spent that endanger lives, not protect them.

Researchers have found that homicides were at or near historic lows in 2024—and are on track to drop even more in 2025. One main factor? Increased funding to community organizations that prevent violence before it happens. Council on Criminal Justice AH Datalytics npr.org/2025/06/30/nx-…

Republicans show time and time again how little they care about veterans. They won’t even support collecting data on veteran suicide rates. It’s a disgrace and a betrayal to those who serve our country.

Today, the children at Annunciation Catholic School were shot while praying. Two were killed in the pews. Thoughts and prayers are NOT enough. We need immediate and comprehensive gun safety laws. That’s what saves lives.
