INVEST IN US

The INVEST IN US Coalition is comprised of national and local gun violence prevention organizations committed to building support to fund evidence-based community solutions to gun violence and educate leaders and the general public about proactive solutions to make our communities safer.

COALITION GOALS

  • Gun violence is a systemic public health issue, and addressing it requires systemic solutions.

  • Lawmakers must invest in proactive, community-led policy interventions and support proven methods to reduce violence.

  • Interrupting the cycle of community violence requires seeing gun violence as more than an individual problem, but as a threat to an entire community's health.

  • To end gun violence, we must also educate, and empower people to prevent interpersonal violence that can lead to gun violence, including intimate partner violence, sexual violence, racial and ethnic hate-based violence, and violence against LGBTQ people, particularly Black and other transgender women of color. 

  • Our elected leaders must enact policies that refrain from constant over-policing, which drains funds from critical services, and leads to mass incarceration
