Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is a grassroots organization founded in 2012 in response to gun violence, particularly after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The group aims to promote common-sense gun laws and policies to reduce gun violence in the United States. It advocates for measures such as background checks for all gun sales and restrictions on high-capacity magazines.
The organization is part of the larger Everytown for Gun Safety network, which includes various groups working towards gun safety reform. Moms Demand Action mobilizes volunteers, engages in public education campaigns, and collaborates with lawmakers to influence gun legislation at local, state, and national levels.
