WE STOPPED WAITING FOR WASHINGTON A LONG TIME AGO.

New Yorkers Against Gun Violence has been leading the fight to keep New Yorkers safe for more than three decades.

A woman in an orange blazer holds up a signed State of New York document at a table reading "Preventing Gun Violence," surrounded by smiling NYAGV team members.

Our evidence-based, community-informed legislation is making New York one of the safest states in the nation.

Still, a New Yorker dies every 9 hours from gun violence.

Strong laws are only half the battle. Education is essential.

Through our classroom-based ReACTION program, students study the risk factors that fuel violence and learn that real power doesn't come from a gun.

NYAGV also provides survivor support services to victims of gun violence because we know untreated trauma can lead a victim to become a perpetrator.

Preventing gun violence requires breaking the cycle that sustains it.

Help keep New York safe.

Become a New Yorker Against Gun Violence.
