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.
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.
After November’s election results, with an incoming Administration and Congress that are expected to prioritize gun access over public health and safety, many gun violence prevention advocates—including those from faith communities—are asking, what comes next? Expert panelists from the gun violence prevention movement will discuss what we can expect the next Administration and Congress to do to try to weaken existing gun laws and regulations, what legal challenges will likely be heard by the courts, and what opportunities exist for enacting stronger gun violence prevention laws at the state level.
