Our lawmakers should be focused on passing policies that keep us safe—but instead, they're considering legislation that would gut our life-saving gun laws and put all our communities at risk.
Tell your lawmakers to oppose a federal concealed carry mandate. ⬇️
Nothing will ever undo the harm caused by the tragedy at Tops Friendly Markets, one of the worst racist mass shootings in modern American history. We applaud these survivors for bravely turning their grief and trauma into action by demanding accountability.
My office, Everytown, GIFFORDS, and law firms are holding Mean Arms, a gun parts marker, accountable for aiding the shooter in the attack at Tops in Buffalo.
Mean Arms sold a magazine lock that the shooter easily removed to turn his gun into a deadly assault weapon.
A new report by @thetrace.org reveals that weapons companies made a staggering $120 million in contracts with Trump’s Department of Homeland Security to arm federal agents with firearms, ammunition, and other gear.
The gun industry is fueling violence and chaos in our communities.
“Trump here has exposed a truth that the gun lobby doesn’t want to admit, which is: more guns in more hands in more places doesn’t make anyone safer. It does make deadly encounters more likely.” - Nick Suplina, our senior vice president for law and policy
The NRA’s once-feared political clout looks increasingly irrelevant.
Motivated to run for office while volunteering with Moms Demand Action, Abigail Spanberger defeated the NRA-endorsed candidate for Virginia governor last year—decisively, and in their own backyard.
Mayor Scott: “Together, Baltimore, we are saving lives.”
Mayors are on the frontlines of America’s gun violence crisis. Under Mayor Scott's leadership, Baltimore has seen a historic decrease in gun violence—with homicides down 60% in just five years.
Martin Luther King Jr.’s life was cut short by gun violence over 50 years ago. His unyielding activism inspired a movement that changed the world, and taught us that it is always the right time to act.
If we want to be part of the solution to end gun violence, we must demand a seat at the table.
Last year, 111 @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers were elected to office in 23 states, where they’ll work to pass common-sense gun safety measures that save lives. 💪
While we await details, one thing is clear: today’s shooting at Brown University is another unacceptable reminder of our nation’s gun violence crisis. We either take action, or we bury more of our kids.
Students on college campuses should be preparing for final exams and winter break — not enduring yet another all too familiar tragedy caused by gun violence.
Today on #GivingTuesday, chip in to support our nearly 11-million-strong movement to end gun violence, and @michaelrbloomberg.bsky.social will match your online donation to the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund.
“Cities that have invested in these proven strategies are seeing gun violence decline—but shortsighted federal cuts are threatening that progress. We will not allow politics to come before people—or dismantle what works.” - Michael-Sean Spence, our managing director of community safety initiatives
VICTORY! Thanks to the tireless efforts of our volunteers, survivors, and community partners, Oregon has taken a huge step forward by closing the machine gun loophole. Today, Governor Tina Kotek signed this legislation into law! @tinakotek.bsky.social
Just the latest example of the Trump Administration prioritizing the gun industry’s bottom line over public safety. ⬇️
The Trump Administration’s deluge of executive orders, federal layoffs, and discriminatory rhetoric is designed to be dizzying.
That’s why we’re monitoring their threats to public safety—which have real, life-threatening consequences for everyone.
Ending gun violence isn’t a partisan issue—it’s an issue of public safety, and Virginia’s next governor, Abigail Spanberger, agrees. 🧵

We sat down with high school and college students to share stats on youth firearm suicide in the US. This is how they reacted.
Note: The numbers featured in this video are based on CDC data from 2018-2022.
“Gun violence stole my peace. No student should ever have to walk through campus hoping it won’t be the site of the next mass shooting. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have the power and duty to stop this crisis.” - Timberlyn, Minnesota @studentsdemand.bsky.social leader
Last year, we surveyed students across the country on what freedom from gun violence means to them. These are just some of their responses.
Tragically, Charlie Kirk’s wife and children have now joined the club no one wants to belong to, and one that has no partisan divide: gun violence survivors. Until we take action to keep guns away from people who have no business owning them, that club will continue to grow. time.com/7316824/char...
Right now, Republicans in Congress are pushing for a federal Concealed Carry Mandate—a gun industry-backed bill that would gut state gun laws and let people carry hidden, loaded guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.
We can’t let it pass: Text GUT to 644-33.
Adelita Grijalva is an unwavering gun sense champion who will put the safety of Arizonans ahead of the gun industry’s bottom line.
We're proud to endorse Adelita in the Special Election for AZ’s 7th congressional district, and we’re eager to work with her in Congress to pass gun safety legislation.
Our hearts are with them, their loved ones, and the entire Minneapolis community. No one should be forced to endure this. We should not have to live and die like this.
No mother should have to run barefoot toward gunfire to save their child, but that’s exactly what this mom instinctively did when she learned about the horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School yesterday. 🧵
What should be a day of hope has turned into a day of horror for yet another school community. All signs point to this tragedy being perpetrated by an assault weapon, which begs a question: How many more Americans must die before lawmakers ban these weapons of war?
"It is a major driver of death and disability. Gun violence does not get the attention it deserves. It is underrecognized because it disproportionately impacts Black and brown people." - Jonathan Jay, associate professor at the School of Public Health at Boston University
