With a gun death rate 11 times greater than other high-income nations, by early February, more people are killed with guns in the U.S. than are killed with guns in our peer countries in an entire calendar year. 58 percent of American adults are survivors of gun violence, either experiencing gun violence themselves or caring for someone who has experienced gun violence in their lifetimes. This National Gun Violence Survivors Week, Monday, February 1 - Sunday, February 7, we honor all survivors of gun violence, who have experienced so much trauma but remain incredibly resilient, leading the work on the ground to support other survivors and advocate for gun violence prevention. To learn the stories of survivors from all over the country, visit the Moments That Survive link in our bio.
