We're a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that prevent gun violence in our communities. Text READY to 644-33 to join us!

The facts don’t lie: A concealed carry mandate WOULD make our communities less safe by allowing people with dangerous histories to carry concealed guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

Text GUT to 644-33 to tell your members of Congress to oppose a federal concealed carry mandate.
Five years ago today, two students—Gracie Anne Muehlberger, 15, and Dominic Blackwell, 14—were killed and three others were wounded when another student armed with an untraceable ghost gun opened fire inside Saugus High School.

Big news from PA! Governor Shapiro just signed the state budget, and it includes $62.15 million for community violence intervention programs—a 10% increase over last year. This is the second year in a row that Pennsylvania has boosted state investment in community-based solutions that save lives.

Three years ago today, five University of Virginia students were shot—three fatally—when another student opened fire on a bus returning to campus from a class trip. Four of the victims, including those who died, were members of the UVA football team.

This holiday season, give the gift of facts: Using a gun for self-defense is not only rare, but it’s ineffective. A new @everytown.bsky.social report shows people who brandish or fire a gun in self-defense are less likely to escape and more likely to get hurt. Learn more: etwn.us/defensive_gun_use

Placing the burden on kids to keep themselves safe in the presence of guns is misguided and ineffective. The onus is on adults to ensure kids don’t gain access to guns in the first place. That starts with securing guns in homes and vehicles—stored unloaded, locked and separate from ammunition.
Some states now require public schools to teach kids about gun safety
Along with stop, drop and roll, some states are teaching students to 'Stop and don't touch that gun.'

As a veteran, Temple Hiatt knows firsthand the power and responsibility that come with handling firearms. That’s why she’s turned her experience into action—educating others about the importance of gun safety and advocating for public safety measures that save lives. #VeteransDay

When lawmakers refuse to take action on gun violence, we run for office and take their jobs.

Voters chose former Virginia Moms volunteer Abigail Spanberger as their next governor, and 13 of our Virginia volunteers were elected to the Virginia House—constituting 20% of the historic House majority.
Beyond Spanberger, women fuel a Democratic resurgence in Virginia
In Tuesday’s election, women made history in the executive branch, set records in the House of Delegates — and evoked pride from female leaders of generations past.

OUTRAGEOUS: An argument about how many eggs chickens lay escalated into violence at a Florida bar when an intoxicated man retrieved a handgun and fired shots at three people.

Seven years ago today, a gunman armed with a Glock pistol opened fire on patrons at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, killing 12 people and wounding another. One of the fatal shooting victims, Telemachus Orfanos, survived the Route 91 Las Vegas shooting the previous year.

True leadership means standing up for what’s right—even when the path forward isn’t easy. Speaker Pelosi has shown that courage time and again, taking on the gun lobby and helping pass the first major federal gun safety law in a generation. @pelosi.house.gov

VICTORY IN MAINE! Mainers just passed a strong Red Flag law, giving families and law enforcement a powerful tool to help prevent gun violence in the state! The life-saving law will enable loved ones or law enforcement to temporarily restrict access to firearms for individuals in crisis.
