GIFFORDS, founded by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and Senator Mark Kelly, is on
a mission to save lives from gun violence. Over 46,000 people die from gun violence in the US
every year, and guns are now the number one cause of death for children in this country. This
uniquely American crisis leaves no community untouched—but it doesn’t have to be this way.
From universal background checks to community-based violence intervention strategies, we
know that there are proven solutions that will make our country safer.
