AUGUST NEWSLETTER

Going back to school shouldn't mean going back to school shootings, but that is the reality far too many young people have faced. It clouds this and every back to school season.

That is why we fight to pass and implement evidence-based policies like safe storage and Extreme Risk Protection Orders that work to keep young people safe in and out of school. Thank you for fighting alongside us.

OUR FIRST YOUTH SUMMIT
This weekend, we hosted our first-ever Youth Summit! The event, organized by and for youth 25 and younger, gave participants a chance to learn more about the gun violence epidemic and how to be effective advocates. We were honored to have the chance to support the next generation of leaders.
