It's Tax Day—and across the country, billions of our tax dollars are being spent on a preventable crisis.
Check to see how much money gun violence is costing taxpayers in District of Columbia.
Every year, gun violence costs the United States $557.2 billion. Taxpayers wind up footing $12.6 billion of that immense bill.
It's one more way that inaction and bad gun laws are exacting a heavy toll on our communities.
This Tax Day, we've done the math. What the numbers say is clear: We must demand action NOW.
We cannot let the gun industry get away with gutting our gun laws and making us pay the bill, both with our lives and with our wallets.
We know our grassroots movement can make real change possible. And with the evidence on our side, we know we can end this crisis.
