Our Policy Agenda
A future free from gun violence.
WE DEMAND A FUTURE FREE FROM GUN VIOLENCE
Guns are now the leading cause of death for young people in America. For Black children, they have held that tragic place for nearly two decades. This epidemic is not inevitable. It is the result of the gun lobby’s stranglehold on our democracy and leaders who put profit over people. We refuse to accept that as our reality.
Our leaders have abandoned their responsibility to keep us safe. Young people are stepping up, taking matters into our own hands and fighting to build a safer, more just future.
OUR POLICY AGENDA
In 2021, we introduced our first comprehensive policy agenda. Since then, the movement has won key victories and adapted our vision as new challenges, data, and opportunities have emerged. Guided by a national network of youth leaders and supported by allies across the gun violence prevention movement, we’ve built an evidence-based roadmap to confront the crisis at every level.
Our plan organizes around three core pillars of action that address both the direct and systemic drivers of gun violence:
Adopt Common-Sense Reforms
Common-sense laws to limit gun access, paired with violence intervention programs, are the most effective path to safety.
