John— Gun violence in America kills more children and teens than any other cause of death. Access to data and research is essential to ensuring we continue to create solutions that will help keep our communities safe. But now, the Trump administration has put important gun violence prevention tools and knowledge at risk. As part of a plan to cut 10,000 jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services, the Trump administration is firing thousands of CDC employees, including staff from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control—the team that studies gun violence and suicide prevention. [ [link removed] ]GIFFORDS Law Center is working to keep lifesaving information available to the public and researchers. Donate today to help us save lives. The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control operates two crucial data tools for the gun violence prevention movement that are now at risk: * WISQARS: This database provides data on fatal and some nonfatal injuries, giving the gun violence prevention movement a full picture of the gun violence crisis. * Injury, Overdose & Violence Dashboard: These dashboards provide close to real-time data on gun violence at the national, state, and local levels, allowing stakeholders to track trends and respond more quickly. Without these experts, access to this data, and the ability to disseminate information to public health professionals across the country, it will be much harder to make policies and operate programs that protect kids and communities.
