Prosecutors Against Gun Violence Appoint New Co-Chair: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Click For More

District Attorney Bragg said, “I am honored to Co-Chair Prosecutors Against Gun Violence, a formidable nationwide collective of bipartisan prosecutors working together to find creative and commonsense fixes to address gun violence and advance public safety. I have seen the devastating impact of firearms on our families and communities since a very young age, and I came into office with the specific goal of combating gun violence. While I am pleased with the significant decrease in shootings and homicides in Manhattan, there are still far too many acts of gun violence. And it goes beyond New York City. We must take a comprehensive, nationwide approach through collaboration, investments and advocacy."
