By early February, more Americans are killed with guns than are killed in other high-income nations in an entire year. And even more are shot and injured, threatened with a gun, or witness an act of gun violence.
Gun violence in any form can leave a lasting impact — whether someone has witnessed an act of gun violence, been threatened or wounded with a gun, or had someone they cared for wounded or killed with a gun. Hearing someone else’s story may help more Americans recognize their own personal connection and the power of their voice.
That’s why, as part of the inaugural Gun Violence Survivors Week, we’re launching #MomentsThatSurvive to lift up survivor stories and shine a spotlight on the countless ways gun violence affects the lives of Americans. Go to momentsthatsurvive.org in our bio to see the #MomentsThatSurvive Memory Wall and submit your own story.
