Take Action
On average, more than 96 people die from gun violence every day. Two-thirds of those gun deaths are suicides which are three times more likely to happen if there is a gun in the home. And, only 60% of guns sales happen with a background check, and 90% percent of gun crimes are traced to only 5% of dealers.
So, what are the concrete steps you can do to make #NotAnotherTaylor a reality? Here are some actions you can take to save lives:
✓ Prevent access to your guns
Keep guns locked, unloaded and stored properly, even when outside of the home.
✓ Donate
Help fund our programs, program development and events to bring about change with our youth and in our community.
✓ Mentor youth
Share your wisdom with people younger than you. Intervene when needed to get them the help and teach them solve problems without guns.
✓ Get involved
Tell others about the movement and tweet #NotAnotherTaylor.
✓ Take the pledge
Stand 2 Oppose continued gun violence in our country. Then, share the pledge with your friends and family.
