In this first year as Executive Director, I’ve been able to lead our team to accomplish so much in our effort to end gun violence, but it wouldn’t be possible without the support of survivors, community leaders, activists, elected officials, front-line workers, our staff and steadfast supporters like you.                                                                                                         
Can we count on your support?
