There is no question that gun violence in the United States is causing havoc and heartbreak. We know this must change, which is why Movement Labs launched the Gun Reform Grant. Out of more than 40 applicants, we have selected our #GunReform Grant winners – Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety & Texas Gun Sense! These incredible orgs will each receive 100K texts via our Movement Labs Gun Reform Grant plus expert support to connect with new gun reform activists, mobilize these activists, and build long-term political power to protect innocent lives!
Grassroots Gun Reform Grant
We asked them how texting will help their missions, here’s what they had to say:
Texas Gun Sense
“This texting will help us fight to protect our community by serving as a leading voice for sensible gun laws in Texas. By building up our supporter base, we could build the capacity to fund a much-needed staff increase, to address policy, legislative, and education needs related to violence prevention in the state.”
Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety Reform
“We are a small and scrappy team on a path of rapid growth. Our intention is to scale up statewide grassroots action in order to meet the moment. This partnership would be transformative for us and dramatically accelerate our path forward.”
