Take Action Against Gun Violence
Gun Violence Watch (GVW) is dedicated to raising awareness about the devastating impact of gun violence in Texas and advocating for meaningful change. We believe that by sharing the stories of those who have been lost, we can ensure that their memories are never forgotten and that their stories inspire action.
As part of our commitment to the cause, we want to connect you with organizations that are actively working to address gun violence across the country.
