Gun violence has no place in our society, and California continues to stand with the families impacted by the horrific shooting in Stockton.
We’re providing victims and their families up to $70,000 in financial assistance for essential expenses and supportive services.

Community-based violence intervention (CVI) organizations are working on the frontlines of our nation’s gun violence crisis to build safe, thriving communities—and it’s working. Cities like Baltimore that have invested in these trusted, proven strategies are seeing gun violence decline.

The onus is on ADULTS, not children, to ensure they do not gain access to firearms. This can be done by taking a few simple steps to secure guns in homes and vehicles—stored unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.
