| ThinkProgress asked 22 corporations that the NRA says offer incentives to NRA members whether they plan to continue their relationships with the gun lobby. Four of those companies have ended their relationship with the NRA since this list was initially published. Here's the list of companies that work with the NRA. |
Last week, we shared a lot of resources on gun violence prevention. Today, we wanted to make sure we shared information on those groups working on gun violence issues in marginalized communities. Because of the amount of content, we have created a separate post on our website. The resource list is available here. In the meantime, here are a few groups to follow, plus many more on our website: MomsRising.org, Live Free, National Domestic Violence Hotline, GVPedia, CJR: Coalition for Justice and Respect
The organizations we listed last week include: Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Giffords, Sandy Hook Promise, or Guns Down. |
