September 16: Special Update: Gun Violence Prevention

Gun Violence continues to devastate families and communities across the Twin Cities with alarming frequency. Each incident is a reminder that crisis demands urgent and sustained action. At NCJW Minnesota, we are committed to advocating for common sense gun violence prevention measures—such as safe storage laws and stronger safeguards to keep firearms out of dangerous hands and out of the hands of children—that can save lives and create safer neighborhoods for all. Together, we can push for change and build a future where every Minnesotan feels secure at home, at school, and in their community.
