The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is a nonprofit organization in the United States dedicated to reducing gun violence and promoting gun safety. Founded in 1974, it was named after Jim Brady, who was injured during an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. The campaign advocates for stronger gun laws, including background checks and restrictions on certain firearms, to help prevent gun-related tragedies. Through education, advocacy, and grassroots efforts, the Brady Campaign works to raise awareness about the impact of gun violence on communities. They collaborate with various organizations and individuals to push for legislative changes that prioritize public safety and protect lives from gun-related incidents.
