John–

Gun violence impacts Americans every single day, but a large part of that
impact rests on the shoulders of Black Americans. Making up the majority
of gun homicide victims, Black Americans are 10 times more likely than
their white counterparts to die by gun homicide.

At Everytown for Gun Safety, we know that Black Americans are not only at
the forefront of experiencing the disproportionate effects of gun
violence, but also on the front lines of fighting against it.

That's why this Black History Month, we're highlighting the stories of our
partners who are doing this work every single day.

Youth ALIVE!’s Teens on Target (TNT)

This Black History Month, we want to stress solutions to gun violence, and
highlight the critical importance of community, healing, and empowerment.
These leaders are putting in the work to end gun violence in their own
communities, applying solutions that we know can work. This work involves
not just passing common-sense gun laws, but mobilizing to provide the
investments, infrastructure, and policies that will build safe and stable
communities.

I hope that you will take the time to [ [link removed] ]read and share the stories of
Black Americans working to put an end to gun violence, and join me in
commemorating Black History Month this February.

Thank you for being a part of this movement.

Sincerely,

Keni Nooner
Associate of Cultural Engagement
