About Nuns Against Gun Violence
Mission Statement
Nuns Against Gun Violence is a coalition of Catholic Sisters and their allies that affirms the value of human life through prayer, education, and advocacy for common sense, evidence-based, gun violence prevention.
History
Nuns Against Gun Violence was founded in April 2023 to bring together congregations of Catholic sisters to speak with a united voice against the crisis of gun violence. More than 60 communities are involved in building this collaborative, which meets bi-weekly to share resources and events and plan advocacy efforts.
