Our work to honor victims and survivors of gun violence continues, no matter what.

John -

The Trump Administration has once again shown a callous disregard for victims and survivors of gun violence—this time by removing a memorial that honored lives stolen, including children killed in school shootings, fallen police officers, and others taken too soon.

Screenshot of a headline from The Washington Post that reads "Memorial to victims of gun violence taken down at ATF headquarters." Subheader reads "'The Faces of Gun Violence' memorial was installed at ATF in 2024 to remind the workforce of the human toll. Below, there's a photo of former Attorney General Merrick Garland with former ATF Director Steven Dettelbach standing in front of the memorial.

This move isn't just an erasure of names and photos—it's an erasure of pain, truth, and our collective responsibility to remember. Honoring victims isn't political—it's human. And dismantling this memorial is a cruel act that only deepens the wounds of those left behind.

This administration continues to go out of its way to erase those impacted by gun violence. But no matter what our movement is up against, we'll continue honoring victims and survivors by uplifting their stories, making their names known, and advocating for change.

125 people are shot and killed every day in America. They are siblings, cousins, friends, neighbors, and beloved members of their communities who deserved to come home alive—and we'll keep fighting to make sure their lives are remembered.

Thanks for being in this movement,
