Teach Gun Safety and Advocacy
Our gun safety and advocacy training gives young people the tools and knowledge to keep themselves safe, understand the importance of responsible gun handling, and become advocates for safer communities.
Stand Up Against Violence!
Through the ''Books Up Guns Down" Campaign, we can turn the pain of loss into a pathway for healing and empowerment, nurturing the resilience of families and the potential of young minds.
We Stand In Solidarity!
Every year, countless families lose loved ones to gun violence, leaving them with both emotional scars and immediate financial burdens. The Books Up Guns Down Campaign seeks to ease these burdens and build resilient communities by providing financial aid, empowering grieving families through literacy-based healing, and equipping young adults with the knowledge and tools needed for personal safety and gun advocacy. We invite you to partner with us to help reduce the ripple effects of gun violence on families and to create a brighter, safer future for our youth.
