As the last ballots are still being counted from the 2022 elections, what’s clear is that the future of our work to end gun violence is more important than ever. The results have already opened new doors and exposed new challenges to advance solutions to address violence in our communities.
So, as we welcome new leaders into office, it’s critical that we continue to build political power and engage both sides of the aisle to take action on the public health crisis of gun violence.
Here are two ways you can get involved after the election:

While we are disappointed by some of the losses last night, we are encouraged by the huge turnout of voters passionate to end gun violence. For far too long, our communities have been neglected by those in power, while we carry the overwhelming traumatic, physical, and emotional burden of gun violence.
To stop gun violence, we must persist in advocating for community-based approaches that we know work and center those most impacted. While change often takes action from our political leaders, it begins with the support of people like you.
Thank you for your continued support.
In solidarity,
Greg Jackson, Executive Director
