Everytown for Gun Safety empowers survivors to share their stories and take action to spare other families pain. Become a part of the Everytown Survivor Network.
The Everytown Survivor Network is a nationwide community of survivors working together to end gun violence. The Survivor Network amplifies the power of diverse survivor experiences to put a human face on our nation’s gun violence crisis. We connect survivors to build community, offer trauma-informed programs and trainings, and provide information on and referrals to direct services. The Everytown Survivor Network, along with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Students Demand Action, is a program of Everytown for Gun Safety.
The Everytown Survivor Network offers:- Opportunities to participate in digital and cultural advocacy actions, including national campaigns with survivor voices at the forefront
- Opportunities to engage in local gun violence prevention advocacy efforts and campaigns through Moms Demand Action chapters
- Educational webinars and access to mental health resources
- Training on story sharing and advocacy through the national Survivor Fellowship program and state-based workshops
- Regular newsletters featuring survivors and information about upcoming trainings, self-care tips and support resources
- Recognition of the impact of gun violence on survivors through the distribution of handmade We Remember care cards on the yearly mark of your experience with gun violence
- Connection with other survivors online, and in person through local Moms Demand Action chapters
The Everytown Survivor Network is inclusive of anyone who has personally experienced gun violence — whether you have witnessed an act of gun violence, been threatened or wounded with a gun, or had someone you cared for wounded or killed with a gun.
