Culture-makers, like writers, directors, and actors, have always had a deep influence on how we think of ourselves, what we value, and how we act. They’ve helped shift attitudes around public health crises, like smoking, drunk driving, and seatbelts.

Brady’s Show Gun Safety Campaign [[link removed]] works with leaders in Hollywood to spark positive norm and behavior change and reshape America’s relationship with guns.

Over the past two years, we’ve worked with the creative community — including Emmy and Academy Award winners — to harness the power of culture-makers to model gun safety on screen. This has included convening Show Gun Safety ambassadors at the White House, consulting on major TV shows, partnering with USC’s Norman Lear Center [[link removed]] on gun safety media best practices [[link removed]] , and amplifying the voices [[link removed]] of actors [[link removed]] and advocates nationwide. And this Fall, we'll host events at the leading talent agencies in America, Endeavor and Creative Artists Agency (CAA), with Brady President Kris Brown, industry panelists, and survivors of gun violence.

Today, there are more firearms than people in America, and we know it’s likely they will always have a role in the shows and films we watch. Our Show Gun Safety campaign does not ask anyone to stop showing guns on screen. But our nation’s content creators and storytellers have the power to model safety norms and show the consequences of reckless gun use — depictions that help guide us to a safer America free of gun violence.

We couldn’t be prouder to welcome Callahan, Littman, and Milrad to lead these life-saving efforts. It will take comprehensive approaches to end gun violence, and changing the culture and behaviors around firearms must be part of the solution. Please join us in learning more about our Culture and Safety Initiative, and how you can support it. [[link removed]]

NEW: Brady Analysis Finds Firearm-Related Intimate Partner Homicides Spiked by 22% In Recent Years
“Domestic violence and gun violence are just so intertwined. States with stronger laws regulating how domestic abusers gain access to guns really go a long way in saving lives.”
— Grace Killian, Brady Research Manager [[link removed]]

This week, Brady published a new analysis [[link removed]] about domestic violence in America, and the findings are eye-opening.

On average, 739 people are shot and killed by a current or former intimate partner each year — the equivalent of someone shot and killed every 12 hours. On average, states that do not require those subject to domestic violence restraining orders to surrender their firearms have nearly twice as many intimate partner homicides involving a firearm.

The analysis [[link removed]] comes just weeks before the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in US vs Rahimi [[link removed]] , where the court will decide if individuals subject to qualifying domestic violence restraining orders can be prohibited from possessing firearms. Brady filed an amicus brief [[link removed]] in the case, which is supported by leading national domestic violence prevention organizations.

As we gear up for this case, please join us in learning more about the intersection between firearms and domestic violence by reading our new analysis. [[link removed]]

We need your help showing support for those impacted by domestic violence.

On November 7, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear U.S. vs Rahimi to decide if individuals subject to qualifying domestic violence restraining orders can be prohibited from possessing firearms. This case is a matter of life and death for those impacted by domestic violence and has the potential to upend gun safety laws nationwide.

That’s why Brady and our coalition partners are rallying outside of the U.S. Supreme Court on November 7, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. ET. Will you join us? The stakes couldn’t be higher and victims and survivors of domestic violence need our support, so please RSVP today! [[link removed]?

URGENT: Help Expand Brady Background Checks!

[link removed] [[link removed]]

Time is running out to show support for the Biden-Harris Administration’s effort to expand Brady Background Checks! [[link removed]]
President Biden recently issued a rule that, if put into effect, would be the broadest expansion of firearm background checks in decades. The rule aims to clarify the definition of what it means to be “engaged in the business” of selling firearms.

A clear definition will ensure that individuals selling firearms for profit will have to conduct background checks, which moves us as close as possible to universal background checks without the urgently needed Congressional action.

Today, 1 in 5 guns are sold WITHOUT a Brady Background Check through private sales at gun shows and on thriving online gun marketplaces, which means that at least 20% of the firearms sold in the United States could go to people legally prohibited from possessing a gun — and no one would ever know.

Will you show your support by signing our letter to the Department of Justice? We have less than 40 days to show an outpouring of support for the Biden-Harris Administration’s proposed rule and we know the NRA and its allies will do everything in their power to stop our progress, so please take action now!
