On June 12, 2016, a lone gunman entered the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and started shooting. The attack, which killed 49 people, was the worst mass shooting in American history, and the worst crime against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans ever committed. One year later, survivors, activists, and advocates reflect on how they turned tragedy into action following the shooting, and how to protect all Americans from gun violence and discrimination.

Public Safety

Protecting people from crime is one of the government’s most fundamental and urgent responsibilities. However, the current reality is that too many crimes go unsolved and too many victims lack justice. The Center for American Progress is committed to advancing evidence-based policies that keep individuals safe by solving crime when it happens, ensuring swift and certain accountability for those who harm others, and preventing crime in the first place.

LGBTQI+ Policy

The LGBTQI+ Policy team provides timely, strategic resources on policy issues affecting LGBTQI+ communities.
