No matter where you live, there are steps you can take to fight gun violence in your communities, from volunteering in underserved and marginalized communities to mentoring those most underserved to simply educating yourself on the facts and discussing solutions with those in your community.
America has a long way to go to end gun violence in our cities. But we have to recognize it as a collective problem that hurts us all, no matter which community we live in. We have to acknowledge that every life lost to gun violence matters—and that every one of us has a responsibility to stop it.
