John, At North Carolinians Against Gun Violence, we share your heartbreak over every firearm related death. Gun violence has long been a public health crisis, and the pandemic has only worsened the situation. 2020 was the most violent year in the 21st century in NC and nationally. Like you, we want to make our state a safer place for everyone, whether that’s by advocating for smarter gun legislation, working on community violence interrupter programs, or handing out gun locks at community events. As our spring fundraising appeal draws to a close, if you have not given, please do. You can help us end our financial year on a strong note with a gift by June 30 either by contributing online here or by mailing your check to: NCGV, PO Box 51565, Durham, NC 27717. To those who have already donated, thank you. We couldn’t do this work without you. --Becky | |
