Black communities bear the brunt of the physical, emotional, and financial burden that comes with our nation’s gun violence epidemic. Until ALL of us are safe, none of us are safe.

It's been 8 years since the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. 17 lives were stolen by a gunman armed with an AR-15 rifle, leaving scars on the community and igniting a powerful youth-led movement for gun safety.

Fueled by Apalachee HS shooting trial, Georgia students push for ban on gun 'switches' Gun safety advocates rallied for tougher laws at the Georgia Capitol on Monday.

β€œWe need to prioritize and emphasize legislation that will again prohibit a lot of people from gaining access to firearms. We know that these weapons are not for hunting. They’re not for protection. They are used for mass destruction.” -Rep. Omar Crawford

10-Year-Old Rushed to Hospital After Another Kid, Also 10, Found a Gun and Accidentally Fired: Cops The Toledo Police Department said in a statement that the incident, which occurred on Feb. 8, is currently under investigation

A ten-year-old is recovering in the hospital after being unintentionally shot by another ten-year-old. Every day, an unintentional shooting happens because a child gains access to a gun and shoots themselves or someone else.

Secure gun storage is a life-saving solution.

Nothing will ever undo the harm caused by the tragedy at Tops Friendly Markets, one of the worst racist mass shootings in modern American history. We applaud these survivors for bravely turning their grief and trauma into action by demanding accountability.

Shooter in Canada kills 9 people and injures 25 others at a school and home A school shooting in northern British Columbia has left seven people dead and more than 25 injured. The incident occurred at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Tuesday.

My heart breaks to hear of another school shooting, this time at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia, Canada.

Until our children can go to school without the threat of a bullet around every corner, we simply aren’t letting up.

Vigil honors mother killed in Chicago shooting as baby survives A vigil was held on Friday for a young mother who was shot and killed on Chicago’s South Side while her baby in the back seat.

My heart breaks for the family of Gabryel Ayres, who was shot and killed by a stray bullet while sitting in the car with her 14-month-old baby.

It’s unfathomable that her child will now have to grow up without their mother.

In just the past couple of weeks, children as young as 2 have found guns and pulled the trigger, resulting in critical injuries and even death.

These tragedies are preventable.

New Mexico Senate lawmakers pass bill to restrict firearms sales Senate Bill 17 passed by a 21-17 vote, now heads to the House.

New Mexico Senate Bill 17 would hold gun traffickers and bad actors accountable so that fewer gunsβ€”including dangerous military-grade weaponsβ€”end up in the hands of kids and in our neighborhoods.

Gun Industry Made Millions Arming ICE and Border Patrol Agents A new report reveals that weapons makers and sellers received $120 million in ICE and Border Patrol contracts last year.

It’s a shame that gun makers have been making millions off of terrorizing our communities.

This has to end.
