Everytown for Gun Safety is the largest gun violence prevention organization in America, comprised of parents, students, survivors, educators, gun owners, and concerned citizens working to build safer communities. Everytown is fighting for the changes that will save lives: undertaking gun violence research, supporting survivors of gun violence, advancing gun safety in the courts, building partnerships to raise awareness, registering voters, electing candidates who will govern with gun safety in mind, and demanding action from our elected officials. Everytown is changing how America thinks about gun violence by enacting and implementing smart gun policies to build the movement to end gun violence.
