Gun Violence Affects All Californians
Over the past decade, gun violence has claimed 35,000 lives in California. That’s equivalent to the number of students at UC Berkeley. In many communities, gun violence is a regular part of daily life. Meanwhile, guns make suicide attempts and domestic violence more lethal.
Gun violence affects all Californians and touches almost every facet of our lives – from access to good education, to economic development, to how we feel connected as communities. Before our communities can thrive, we must ensure they are safe. The success of every organization’s work is dependent, in some way, on solutions to stop the gun violence epidemic in California.

On May 31, 2018, at the Sierra Health Foundation in Sacramento, California, leaders in the movement to end violence and promote peace participated in an inspiring and engaging one-day summit.
Sponsored by the California Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the Hope and Heal Fund, the summit included community leaders, advocates, funders, and agency and legislative staff from a variety of regions throughout California.
