New Yorkers Against Gun Violence

Advocacy groups shape city policy one signature at a time. New Yorkers Against Gun Violence has spent decades pressing for legislative change from an office in New York, NY 10163, just blocks from the Empire State Building.

Through community education, direct lobbying, and impact litigation, they tackle firearm regulation across the five boroughs. Workshops on safe storage and violence interruption programs reach neighborhoods where data shows the highest risk. Their team also drafts model bills and mobilizes voters ahead of key legislative sessions.

Reaching them is simple: dial (212) 679-2345 to ask about volunteer shifts or upcoming town halls. Donations and grant applications are processed through the same line, though most questions about advocacy campaigns get routed to their policy staff.

For directions, pull up the map before heading out—midtown side streets can be tricky to navigate on foot.
