We honor and remember the lives lost, those injured, and all who have been forever changed by gun violence in the month of March. While we strive to recognize significant incidents, we know that every name and every story matters. We cannot list every individual affected, but our hearts hold space for all survivors, families, and communities impacted by gun violence. Your experiences are seen, your pain is valid, and you are not forgotten.
