Every 16 hours, a woman is fatally shot by her partner -- so we are demanding an end to the “boyfriend loophole.”
At least 54% of mass shootings are committed by abusers -- so we are demanding universal background checks.
A woman is 500% more likely to die in a domestic violence situation when a gun is present -- so we are demanding federal extreme risk protection orders.
Black women are 2x more likely to be fatally shot by an intimate partner than white women -- so we are demanding bold, comprehensive, and intersectional legislation to end this epidemic.
We cannot look at preventing one form of violence without looking at the other. Gun violence and domestic violence are connected -- and they are both public safety epidemics.
