Your Impact
You are helping us win against gun violence
When you support Brady, you help reduce the gun violence epidemic in America and ensure that our mission is carried out in the following key areas:
Education
Understanding the issues and supporting common-sense solutions is the only way to fight America’s gun violence epidemic. That’s why Brady provides everything you need to know, from the latest legislation, research, statistics, and personal stories. There is a lot of misinformation out there that needs to be corrected, and your support enables Brady to create a force of educated activists.
Hear from Aalayah Eastmond, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor and Team ENOUGH Executive Council member who turned outrage into action and used her education on gun violence to testify before Congress, moving her audience to tears:
Legislation
From our beginning in 1974, Brady has been focused on common-sense gun laws. With your support, we work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to close loopholes in current gun laws and pass new legislation to prevent gun violence and save lives. This includes expanding Brady Background Checks to all gun sales and banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Today, your contributions enable us to continue our namesake’s legacy of bipartisanship by reaching across the aisle, working with gun-owning and non-gun-owning communities alike, to make our country safer for all.
In this video, Dr. Joseph Sakran shares how surviving a shooting as a teenager shaped his work as a trauma surgeon and advocate. His story leads into Brady’s proven approach, from Brady Background Checks to changing laws, changing the industry, and changing the culture. Watch to see how Brady is helping free America from gun violence.
Litigation
Because of supporters like you, we have been able to argue and win before state supreme courts, trial courts, and federal appeals courts, argue or file legal briefs in 44 states, and help win important victories in the United States Supreme Court. In addition to donor-supported efforts, Brady’s Legal Alliance works with hundreds of lawyers and firms that contribute their passion and time — pro bono — to hold the gun industry accountable and secure justice for the victims and survivors of gun violence.

“The refusal of national-level politicians to pass any legislation to improve the gun regulations infuriates me. There have been state-level advances, but much remains to be done to change the gun culture in this country.“
—Lester Nathan, Brady Supporter
