John–

During Latinx Heritage Month, we reflect and celebrate the cultures,
histories, and traditions that make up our Latinx communities—and the
leaders who have been keeping us safe as we imagine a better world for
future generations.

Because today, Latinx communities are disproportionately impacted by gun
violence, gun homicide, gun suicide, police violence, and intimate partner
violence.

And as the Latinx population in the U.S. continues to grow, we have a
responsibility to support Latinx communities to lead in ending the gun
violence crisis, and to uplift the work that makes our communities safer.

Which is why we continue to prioritize funding the community violence
intervention organizations doing this critical work. [ [link removed] ]Learn more about
several Latinx-led organizations' specialized approaches to ending gun
violence.

Since 2019, the Everytown Community Safety Fund has granted over $10
million to 117 community-based violence intervention programs in 67
cities.

These community-based organizations use a localized approach to gun
violence prevention, with community members identifying risk and reducing
violence through evidence-based interventions.

Learn why we support Gabriella Rodriguez with QLatinx in Central Florida
and Héctor Sánchez-Flores' work with the National Compadres Network and

communities thrive.

Empowering local leaders to develop their own playbook to end gun violence
means they can take a specialized approach that fits into their community.
Because every community deserves to thrive without fear.

Thank you for supporting our work to build a future free from gun
violence,
