The Community Justice Action Fund is changing the conversation on gun violence prevention by leading with the people closest to the pain of everyday gun violence.
Our 2021 Annual Report
In 2021, the pandemics of COVID-19 and gun violence continued to exacerbate our most vulnerable communities in devastating ways. Even as cities locked down to stop the spread of COVID-19, we saw a historic rise in gun violence including record shootings and gun sales. As Black and Brown communities battled this rising crisis, Community Justice ramped up our advocacy, education and organizing efforts across the country to secure billions in funding for community-based violence intervention efforts, advance key policy to reduce gun violence and elevate the urgency for action across the country. Checkout our 2021 Annual Report, highlighting our work last year, how we’ve worked to strengthen community-based solutions that successfully reduce gun violence and empower voices in our communities to lead the effort to address this crisis.
Police Violence is Gun Violence
In light of America’s history of police violence and the recent incidents that took the lives of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, the Community Justice Action Fund demands that justice be served and organizations committed to end gun violence align behind various principles in support of ending police violence.
Support These Organizations on the Frontlines
These leaders on the front lines of ending gun violence are essential and they need our support to maintain funding, as well as supply resources for communities suffering the COVID19 pandemic and the public health crisis of gun violence.
This is Our Ground
"Stand Your Ground" laws are a license to kill, we must take action. We're calling on Governors to put the safety of their constituents first, and take action to dismantle “Stand Your Ground” laws. Join us
