Dear Biden-Harris Transition Team,
Gun violence in the United States is a public health crisis. More than 100 people are killed with guns in
this country every day as a result of homicides, suicides, unintentional shootings, and interpersonal
conflicts that become fatal due to easy access to guns. The names of far too many of our communities
have become synonymous with horrific acts of violence, while others suffer a daily toll of gun violence
that never makes national headlines. The burden of this violence falls disproportionately on
communities of color, with Black Americans making up around 13% of the population but 58% of gun
homicide victims. In 2020, this crisis was exacerbated by the pandemic, which saw a substantial surge in
gun sales, increased risks for survivors of domestic violence, and increases in shootings in some cities.
Simultaneously, the nation has been gripped by a nation-wide racial justice movement, demanding an
end to police violence and solutions to dismantle systemic racism.
