Gun related violence
Mothers Against Guns, Inc., (M.A.G.) was a non-profit and non-partisan organization founded in New York City in March, 1994.
The M.A.G. Movement engaged in 5 principle activities:
Speaking Out: In our communities to educate, promote awareness and reduce gun violence.
Influencing Government: Organized efforts to lobby elected officials and policy makers.
Victim Support: Organizing resources at the national and community level to provide support for victims and victim's families.
Fund Raising: To raise funds for the support and continuation of M.A.G. activities.
Spreading the Word: Informing others about M.A.G. with the aim of building a national and indeed, global organization that will make a significant impact on reducing gun violence.
They were committed to ending gun violence in our communities by raising public awareness of the devastating effect this violence has on all lives.
Gun violence has become one of the leading causes of death among young people in our country.
