The Joyce Foundation
Gun Violence Prevention
Nearly 100,000 Americans are killed or injured in gun violence every year. This inflicts a heavy toll on families and communities. The Joyce Foundation works with law enforcement, policy makers and advocates to develop common sense gun violence reduction and prevention policies that keep our communities safe.
Public Education and Engagement
Gun laws in the U.S. allow for easy access to an unlimited number of almost any type of firearm, by virtually anyone. As a result, convicted felons, people with mental illness, and domestic abusers can and do obtain deadly firearms with impunity. Likewise, firearms for sale to civilians have become increasingly lethal, with military-style assault weapons readily available at gun stores and shows throughout the country.
A growing body of research shows that strong gun laws correspond with lower rates of gun death and injury. The Joyce Foundation supports efforts to build awareness about the problem of gun violence in America, and to educate the public, policy makers and the media about common-sense policies that improve public health and safety.

The Joyce Foundation is another organization working to reduce the gun violence epidemic in our neighborhoods and on our streets. They could use your support.
