Did you know that in New York City, Black people make up 24% of the population but account for 71% of all shooting victims?

"I want to focus on one of the most challenging issues within my community- gun violence. Living on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC, gunshots can be heard almost daily, and the solution is not simple, which is why I would start with a multifaceted approach to ending gun violence in Ward 7. Starting with raising awareness, I want to organize workshops and campaigns to educate and unionize the people of Ward 7. Then I would work toward policy changes; living in DC, I have access to local lawmakers and organizations already working on this topic to advocate for stricter gun laws but I would solely focus on Ward 7. I want to emphasize through my workshops and campaigns, the socioeconomic factors that often create gun violence, and I want to generate support and resources for the victims and survivors of gun violence. Gun violence is a very difficult and sensitive subject to work with. However, I have lived in DC almost my entire life and as I journey off to college, I want to leave my home with something that’s protecting; dignifying Ward 7 as more than a crime scene, but a community".

We think we know about gun violence in Black communities, and we may think there is no solution. But what if there's more to consider. Come listen to Aaron Mallory share a story that will shift how you think about your power in putting an end to gun violence. #BrilliantBearcats #PresidentialFellows

Saturday's tragic events in Pennsylvania further reinforce the crucial message of the Regulate Guns NOT Women campaign. We are committed to spreading this campaign nationwide to elect officials who champion this cause. Our thoughts are with Mr. Comperatore's family, and we wish a speedy recovery to all those affected, including former president Trump. Violence is never the solution. It's time for safe gun policies. Let's remove AR-15's and AK-47's from our streets. Background checks and closing gun show loopholes are imperative. Join us in our grassroots efforts across Georgia and beyond to advocate for responsible gun regulations. Now, more than ever, let's work together for a safer future. #GunControl #SafetyFirst

One of the many things I learned from working with #GunViolencePrevention activists was to stop developing universes of targeted voters. Instead, I like to highlight voters. It sounds less like we're at a shooting range. Last week I had strategic actions on my mind. I wrote a couple of posts about what makes an action strategic. One of the steps to planning a strategic action is to determine who can make the decision we want. We usually call that person the "target." Oh. Even if that person is our opposition, we still don't want to associate violence with our action to influence them. What should we call that person instead? We're not highlighting them the way we'd highlight voters for canvassing, mail or messaging. The-one-we-have-to-move seems long. The subject of our action? When I asked this question on #Bluesky, the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort (WAVE) Ed Fund replied that they hadn't found the perfect alternative, although they sometimes say "intended audience." What do you think? Have you come up with any alternatives to "target" when you're planning campaigns? Share your ideas in the Comments. I'm curious about whether folks from Brady: United Against Gun Violence, GIFFORDS, Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America or Robert Bowers Disney have ideas. #CommunityOrganizing #OrganizingToWin #NonViolentLanguage #Enough
