Causes: Disaster Aid
Mission: To advocate for solutions that reduce gun violence.
Programs: The alliance for gun responsibility advocated for and informed policy makers on the importance of gun violence prevention laws. This included six distinct legislative policies worked on in our office as well as partnering with likeminded groups to advocate for policies related to suicide, firearms, and other public health issues. Our work in 2017 included an accountability program and we worked with coalition partners and consultants to advance this program area. Our major program service accomplishment for 2017 was our advocacy for and subsequent passage of law enforcement and victim safety notification in the washington state legislature. This law is the most significant gun violence prevention piece of legislation to pass the legislature. Our organization worked tirelessly with volunteers and advocates around the state to pass this bill into law.
