For nearly 10 years after the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy, Newtown Action Alliance (NAA) has been advocating for a set of bold and comprehensive gun control legislation to dramatically reduce all forms of gun violence in our nation. 

In 2019, NAA  joined a coalition of gun violence prevention survivors, advocates, and researchers from across the country at the GVPedia Conference in Denver, Colorado to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Columbine shooting, and to forge a path forward to a safer America. From this assembly the Denver Accord was born, a declaration of guiding principles and policies to end the scourge of gun violence in America. 

NAA has fully endorsed GVPedia’s Denver Accord principles that acknowledge 1) Guns do not make us safer; 2) Gun violence in America is a pervasive public health crisis that demands substantial policy solutions and well-funded programs that effectively reduce gun violence; 3) Equitable and just enforcement of gun laws is paramount; and 4) Everyone has the right to live free from violence.

NAA will continue to encourage all Members of Congress to fully support the Denver Accord. Meanwhile, NAA is endorsing House incumbents who voted YES for our top federal policy priorities.

1. H.R. 1808 — Assault Weapons Ban of 2021 - passed on July 29, 2022

2. H.R. 748 — Ethan’s Law - passed in the H.R. 7910 Protect Our Children Act package on June 6, 2022

3. H.R. 8 — Bipartisan Background Check Act - passed on March 11, 2021

Since Sandy Hook, there have been nearly 4,000 mass shootings and over 350,000 Americans have been killed by guns and the following 183 Representatives have honored all victims of gun violence with action to end the gun violence public health crisis in our nation.
