Neighborhood Church

New Yorkers Against Gun Violence operates from its New York City headquarters to advance firearm safety legislation and injury prevention across New York State. The organization partners with state legislators, public health experts, and community leaders to develop evidence-based gun policies. NYAGV's advocacy focuses on strengthening background check requirements, implementing safe storage laws, and restricting access to high-capacity magazines. The organization's public education programs include youth leadership training, community safety workshops, and data-driven policy research. NYAGV collaborates with schools, healthcare providers, and law enforcement agencies to implement violence prevention initiatives. Their resource center provides statistical analysis, legislative updates, and action toolkits for community organizers. NYAGV maintains formal partnerships with state public health departments, violence prevention coalitions, and neighborhood safety programs throughout New York's urban and rural communities. The organization testifies at legislative hearings, coordinates with municipal governments, and participates in public health research initiatives. Their policy recommendations draw from public health frameworks, criminal justice data, and community impact assessments.
