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.

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

NYAGV 2026 Annual Benefit Dinner

NY State of Mind: Ending Gun Violence, Together

Join us for an inspiring evening bringing together advocates, community leaders, and supporters committed to ending gun violence. Through powerful stories, special guests, and opportunities to connect, we’ll celebrate the collective action creating safer communities across New York and strengthen the movement toward a future free from gun violence.

Reserve Your Seat

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.
