The Gun Safety Alliance increases connections and coordination across supporters of the gun violence prevention (GVP) movement, finding ways to amplify each others' work toward our goal of reducing gun deaths.
Businesses support our movement through employee engagement, awareness campaigns, financial support, political leverage, and normalizing the values of our movement.
Media, creative, and advertising partners help the messaging and narratives needed to bring more people and organizations into the movement.
Community partners, such as nonprofits, religious and spiritual organizations, have insights and direct relationships with families impacted by gun violence.
More than 60 gun violence prevention organizations have aligned on a path to reduce gun deaths in the United States by 50 percent by 2030. We believe this reduction is possible if everyone – politicians, businesses and civil society – does their part.
Each year, there are approximately 40,000 firearm deaths in the United States. The solution to reducing these senseless and preventable deaths is attainable if the combined forces of these organizations are harnessed, focused and directed towards initiatives that have had a demonstrable impact on gun-related deaths.
We the undersigned organizations are fighting to end the epidemic of gun violence in the United States. We believe that the United States can reduce gun deaths by 50 percent by 2030. We know this is possible, but only if everyone does their part and we invite you to join us.
Each year there are approximately 40,000 firearm deaths in the United States - these numbers are likely to rise without immediate action. Here are proven ways to reduce gun deaths:
States that require a background check on gun sales have homicide rates 10% lower than those that do not.
Jurisdictions implementing "red flag" provisions have experienced double-digit percentage reductions in gun-related mortality rates on average.
Storing firearms unloaded, locked, and away from ammunition correlates with a 78% reduction in self-inflicted firearm injuries and 85% lower risk of unintentional injuries among children.
Comprehensive support initiatives for high-risk individuals have achieved nearly 40% reductions in homicide and gun injuries in select communities.
Some states that adopted these laws experienced a 32% increase in firearm homicide rates and 24% increase in overall homicide rates.
Each solution emphasizes evidence-based approaches requiring coordinated effort across political, business, and civic sectors to achieve the 50% reduction goal by 2030.
We work with legislators and policymakers to advance evidence-based gun safety legislation at local, state, and federal levels. Our coalition amplifies voices calling for common-sense reforms like universal background checks and safe storage requirements.
Supporting grassroots initiatives and community violence intervention programs that address gun violence at its roots. We connect organizations with resources and best practices to create safer neighborhoods and prevent tragedies before they occur.
Raising awareness about gun violence prevention through public education campaigns, research dissemination, and media partnerships. We help communities understand the risks and solutions while promoting a culture of safety.
Join our movement to reduce gun violence. Whether you're an individual, organization, or business, there are many ways to contribute to this important cause.
