John,
We hope you were able to join us online yesterday as we celebrated our 5th anniversary! With inspiring speeches from Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Erica Ford, and so many others, it truly was a special event.
In case you missed it:
We launched this organization 5 years ago because we recognized a glaring need: the need to advocate for resources, funding, and solutions for communities plagued by gun violence. We wanted to give those most impacted by this issue the opportunity to lead the conversation and propose the solutions or ideas that work for them.
With your help, we’ve accomplished so much over the past 5 years. But as there are still too many people dying every day from gun violence, our work is far from finished.
Please consider making a donation to power our critical work and help us end gun violence. Your support is truly invaluable: [[link removed]]

It is directly because of this support that we have been able to build power for and with communities of color to change the conversation by leading with those closest to the pain of everyday gun violence.
And it is directly because of this support that we’ve been able to accomplish so much over the past few years, including:
*
Doubling
our
staff
and
expanding
our
work
to
five
key
states;
*
Training
over
50,000
people
on
community-based
solutions
through
our
By
Design
education
campaign;
*
Starting
our
Speakers
Bureau
by
recruiting
over
500
community
leaders
to
share
their
stories,
expertise,
and
ideas
with
policymakers;
*
Testifying
in
Congressional
hearings
and
on
the
international
stage
to
elevate
the
gun
violence
crisis
in
America;
*
Creating
the
Invest
in
Us
Coalition
that
successfully
advocated
the
Biden
Administration
for
a
historic
$5
billion
to
end
community
gun
violence;
*
And
so
much
more!
And yet, the road to ending the gun violence epidemic in America is still long. While the past five years have brought significant steps forward in centering our communities of color, the next five years will be even more critical.
That is why, John, we’re reaching out to you today. We know you’re committed to ending gun violence and we need your help to power CJAF’s work through this next chapter.
Can we count on you to donate $5 (or more!) today? [[link removed]]

- Amber and the whole CJAF team
