In light of recent events, we at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) have taken time to reflect on the opportunities to expand gun violence prevention that lie ahead -- and the best way to seize those opportunities.
I outline our approach in my new op-ed in the Chronicle of Philanthropy, “With the White House taking bold steps, now is the time for philanthropy to do the same and vastly expand that network of support.”
Please create a free Chronicle of Philanthropy account to read the op-ed and learn about our bold vision to back local leaders and effect lasting change.
To learn more about the Safer States Initiative, please visit our website, where you can request more information about supporting this important new initiative!
Thank you for your support,
