D.A. Bragg To Honor Gun Violence Awareness Month With Youth Violence Prevention Grants, Gun Buyback Event, Art of Healing Festival & More

“As we enter Gun Violence Awareness Month, we are reminded of the toll that firearms continue to take in our communities,” said District Attorney Bragg. “There are far too many people grieving due to gun violence, and we have an urgent responsibility to use every tool at our disposal to get guns off our streets. That includes direct investments in neighborhoods, collaboration with community partners and coordination with other members of law enforcement. I am pleased that this comprehensive approach has begun to lead to a steady reduction in homicides and shootings in Manhattan, but we have a lot more work to do, and I look forward to taking part in these events with my fellow New Yorkers.”
