America's gun death rate is 11 times that of our peer nations. That means by early February, more people are killed with guns in the United States than will be killed with guns in our peer countries in all of 2020. That unacceptable rate of gun violence is why the first week of February is National Gun Violence Survivors Week.

Over the course of this week, survivors and volunteers have honored the lives of those impacted by gun violence and discussed solutions to this crisis. And they're not alone: celebrities, elected officials, athletes, activists, and students across the country have joined them in commemorating this week.

Now, you can join them. Read and share the stories of survivors on our newly redesigned Moments That Survive website, and add your voice to the hundreds across the country working to end gun violence.

Right now, we live with the reality that approximately 58 percent of American adults or someone they care for has personally experienced gun violence in their lifetimes. As an ally in the fight to end gun violence, I’m dedicating myself to uplifting the voices of survivors and doing what I can to call attention to this crisis.

This week, you can join us in honoring survivors and working to end this crisis. Read and share the stories of survivors of gun violence this National Gun Violence Survivors Week.

Thank you for being a part of this movement. We're committed to lifting survivor voices every day of the year; with your support, we can help even more Americans understand the impact of gun violence and work to end this crisis.

Sincerely,

Ann Wright
Deputy Director
Everytown Survivor Network
