The nation’s gun violence epidemic has gone on for far too long. Whether headline-grabbing mass shootings or the daily plague of shootings in our cities and communities, the families of gun violence victims have had enough. In this powerful video, they are speaking up and letting their elected officials know they will stand quietly by no longer.

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.
