New year, same devastating, uniquely American reality.
Lawmakers can stop this senseless violence, but too many choose not to. We’ll continue working to make our communities safer, because a future free from gun violence is possible—and it’s what we deserve.

This year, we continued investing in community-based violence intervention (CVI) strategies. This work—often led by gun violence survivors themselves—is critical to breaking cycles of violence and creating lasting safety.

Ghost guns are untraceable firearms bought and built without a background check that look, shoot, and kill like real guns. This year, the Supreme Court affirmed ghost guns will continue to be treated like the deadly weapons they are.

Children are curious, and may be looking for presents and other goodies this time of year. Make sure you store all firearms locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition to keep a joyous season from becoming a tragic one. #BeSMART

Even if you don’t own a gun, your child may spend time in homes where firearms are present. Before playdates or visits, it’s important to ask whether there are guns in the home and how they’re stored. These simple conversations can save lives.

In 2025, our volunteers and survivors showed up in hearing rooms, met with lawmakers, and mobilized thousands of supporters to defeat bills that would have forced loaded guns into employee parking lots, blocked states from enforcing federal gun laws, and prohibited future Extreme Risk laws. 🧵

Five years ago, a police officer shot & killed Andre Hill while he was leaving a friend’s house. Andre was a beloved brother, father, and grandfather. He was an avid basketball player and talented cook. He was a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, wearing a BLM shirt when he was murdered.

There’s a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there about our country’s gun violence crisis. The reality is: The US has a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations. That’s no coincidence—it’s the result of lax gun laws.

The Trump Administration rolled back Biden-era efforts to hold gun dealers accountable and reassigned roughly 80% of ATF agents to carry out immigration operations.
Despite this, states still have many tools at their disposal to reduce gun trafficking and keep communities safe.

Arming teachers does nothing to protect our children from gun violence. Data shows these reactive initiatives are ineffective, make students and staff feel less safe, and only bring new risks into schools.
