Atlanta ‘Everytown for Gun Safety’

One year after Congress failed to pass legislation to require comprehensive gun background checks, gun violence survivors, faith leaders, lawmakers and other concerned Georgians gathered to launch ‘Everytown for Gun Safety,’ a new gun violence prevention group. Everytown asks Americans to join the fight to reduce the gun violence that affects big cities and small towns alike.
 
The event in Atlanta's Woodruff Park was just one of a number of events which occured around the country that brought together local community leaders to speak out in favor of more restrictive gun laws.
