The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and leaders from multiple religious groups have launched a national effort — Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence — to mobilize the faith community to support policies to fight gun violence.
The faith community can be a powerful force in reducing the terrible toll of gun violence and making our neighborhoods safer.
Religious leaders have long played a critical role in addressing the nation's social challenges, especially in protecting children and other vulnerable people. Helping to prevent gun violence, which kills and injures 300 people--including 65 children and teens--every day in the United States, is a natural extension of these efforts.
Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence will be a powerful force nationally and will work with local congregations to educate their communities and elected officials on effective public policy measures to reduce death and injury from gunfire.
