Even with our country on lockdown, 2020 had the highest gun violence numbers in decades, and even in the new year, these tragedies aren’t slowing down. From hateful attacks against the AAPI community to rampages in grocery stores, we’re at a breaking point.

With critical gun reform legislation waiting for a vote in the Senate, we need to work together to get it done.
