violent crimes that terrorize neighborhoods. [ [link removed] ]Join us to learn how we
are educating our communities on ways to combat the problem of illegal
trafficking. All are welcome — we hope to see you there!

Rep. Lucy McBath wanted to ensure that no other family suffered the pain
of burying their child as she did. It was her determination and grit that

Elisha McDowell, the co-founder of Florida A&M University's Students
Demand Action chapter and an Everytown Survivor Fellow, was named one of
[ [link removed] ]Cultured Magazine's inaugural 2026 Young Activists!

At only 21 years old, Elisha has proven herself to be a dedicated leader
in the gun violence prevention movement. After the Florida State
University shooting, she took action by mobilizing hundreds of students at
vigils and rallies. When extremist lawmakers pushed bills to allow
professors to carry guns on campus, Elisha was in the room testifying
against them.

This month, Everytown Research published a new detailed report and
database on how gun laws have changed over the past 25 years.

Inspired by Everytown's Gun Law Rankings analysis, this longitudinal
database allows users to draw more causal conclusions about policy
impacts. Ideally, this in turn will allow policymakers, researchers,
community groups, and other key stakeholders to prioritize policy
solutions shown to stop gun violence. [ [link removed] ]Read more here.

In a victory for gun safety, Husky Armory — an online ghost-gun seller —
has shut down its website following a lawsuit brought by Everytown Law.

This action comes after a Kentucky jury awarded over $100 million in
damages to the mother of an underage teen who died by gun suicide after
Husky Armory sold him a ghost-gun kit over the Internet without verifying
his identity or conducting a background check.

This verdict is believed to be the largest in US history against a gun
seller. [ [link removed] ]Read more about this landmark case.
