The Consortium for Risked-Based Firearm Policy
 
 

GOOD AFTERNOON,

 

This past June, Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. This law is the product of many years of hard work from gun violence prevention organizations like the Consortium that have directly contributed to creating evidence and proposing solutions to reduce gun violence.

 

This law is the result of the work the Consortium started in 2013 on Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO). We are proud to say our research and advocacy was an integral part of this legislation being passed. Through the Consortium’s research, we were able to successfully advocate for $750 million in funding for crisis intervention orders over 5 years, including ERPO. Evidence matters, and when there is evidence available to meet the moment, we can create successful change.
