How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Evidence-Informed Advocacy for Campus Safety
    methodology: evidence-informed gun violence prevention
    By grounding opposition to campus carry in research and expert consensus, we strengthen policy arguments, because data-driven messaging is more effective in countering fear-based narratives and shaping durable public and institutional positions.
  • Grassroots Stakeholder Mobilization and Empowerment
    methodology: grassroots_stakeholder_mobilization
    By training and organizing students and faculty to act as public advocates, we amplify authentic campus voices in policy debates, because grassroots-led campaigns generate more credible and influential pressure on institutions and policymakers than top-down advocacy.
  • Institutional Policy Advocacy for Gun-Free Campuses
    methodology: institutional_partnership_advocacy
    By partnering with colleges and universities to oppose state-level legislation that mandates concealed carry on campus, we preserve institutional authority to set gun policies, because decentralized, institution-led safety rules are better aligned with campus needs and expert consensus on risk mitigation.
