Mission Statement
We’re the largest gun violence prevention organization in America--and we’re winning. Gun violence touches every town in America. For too long, life-saving laws have been thwarted by the gun lobby and by leaders who refuse to take common-sense steps that will save lives. But something is changing. Nearly 10 million mayors, moms, teachers, survivors, gun owners, students, and everyday Americans have come together to make their own communities safer. Everytown starts with you, and it starts in your neighborhood. By introducing evidence-based solutions in every town, we can end gun violence.
Description
In 2013, Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America came together to tackle our shared goal of ending gun violence. Since then, we have combined the best minds in research, policy, litigation, advocacy, and grassroots organizing to grow Everytown for Gun Safety into a movement of nearly 10 million supporters. 2022 President Biden Signed into Law the First Major Gun Safety Bill in 26 Years. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, a historic gun safety, mental health, and school safety bill, is the first major federal gun safety law to pass Congress in nearly 26 years. Fifteen Republican Senators joined all 50 Senate Democrats in supporting this lifesaving legislation, and President Biden signed it into law on June 25, 2022.
