John, the White House is the People's House.
So it's only fitting that the Biden-Harris Administration is launching a new office focused on one of the American people's top concerns: Keeping their families safe from gun violence.
I'm thrilled to share that the Biden-Harris Administration has unveiled the brand new Office of Gun Violence Prevention—and that one of our own will help lead this critical work.
As the President of Everytown, I could not be more proud of and excited for this news.
Join me today in extending our thanks to President Biden and Vice President Harris for taking this huge step towards giving our gun violence crisis the attention it deserves. Add your name to our thank you card.
In just the last few years alone, we've seen a dramatic shift in the political calculus around gun safety. The Biden-Harris Administration's decision to create the Office of Gun Violence Prevention is further evidence that this issue will continue to drive our political discourse.
Rob Wilcox, Everytown’s Senior Director of Federal Government Affairs, will co-lead this brand new White House office dedicated to saving lives. As both an advocate and a survivor, he has led our federal work and played a key role in getting Congress to pass the first major gun safety bill in decades. And in his eight years with Everytown, he's become a nationally recognized expert on gun safety policy.
He will be joined by Greg Jackson, Executive Director of the Community Justice Action Fund (CJAF), in co-leading the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. CJAF has been a strong partner in our work to end gun violence as a powerful voice for communities disproportionately impacted by this crisis, leading the charge on investments in community violence intervention strategies. We are thrilled to share in the excitement of this huge announcement with them.
Together, Rob Wilcox and Greg Jackson are the perfect people to help lead this new office as deputy directors.
The Biden-Harris Administration continues to be the strongest gun safety administration in history. Will you join me in signing a thank you card to President Biden and Vice President Harris for taking this huge step towards ending gun violence in America? Add your name.
Thank you for being a part of this movement. Make no mistake: You helped make today possible.
Onward,
John Feinblatt
He/Him/His
President
Everytown for Gun Safety
