2022 advocacy campaign
#GunControlNow and H.R. 8
The 2022 campaign called for stronger background checks after Uvalde and Buffalo and connects visitors to the current senator-action toolkit.
Foundation campaign
Safety and justice
Remember the lives. Use the Foundation’s advocacy tools.
Visit the Uvalde memorial, read the 2022 #GunControlNow campaign, and use the updated #EndGunViolence Senate contact, call-script, CDC, FEC, and social-action tools.
The toolkit was reviewed July 19, 2026. Current federal context includes H.R. 18 in the 119th Congress (2025-2026); historical H.R. 8 content remains clearly dated to 2022.
Remembrance, advocacy, and action
Three ways to understand the issue and make your voice heard.
Honor the people killed in Uvalde, revisit the Foundation’s 2022 call for stronger background checks, and use the senator-action tools to contact elected officials.
