NCNW is dedicated to addressing the critical issue of gun violence, which disproportionately affects Black women and their families. Gun violence is a public health crisis that demands comprehensive and effective policy solutions. Our policy platform for gun violence prevention aims to reduce gun-related injuries and deaths through advocacy, education, and community engagement. Including:
Proactive measures to address gun and community violence through common sense gun laws
The prevention of gun access to individuals with a history of domestic violence
Regulations of gun sellers who sell from private collections and an expansion to background check requirements for the purchase of fire arms
