The Community Justice Action Fund is changing the conversation on gun violence prevention by leading with the people closest to the pain of everyday gun violence.
Our 2020 Annual Report
In 2020, the pandemics of COVID-19 and gun violence exacerbated multiple public health crises. We saw that too often, our communities' pain and stories don’t make headlines, but as an organization, we work every day to challenge that reality: building power for and with communities of color to end gun violence. This year, in response to unprecedented violence in our communities our work was bolder, and bigger than ever before. Check out our 2020 Annual Report detailing highlights of our work this year, and highlights the exciting projects we have in store for 2021.

Our New Policy Agenda
CJAF's comprehensive, holistic, and grassroots-driven policy framework is driven by communities directly impacted by everyday violence, and applies to every level of government.
Police Violence is Gun Violence
In light of America’s history of police violence and the recent incidents that took the lives of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, the Community Justice Action Fund demands that justice be served and organizations committed to end gun violence align behind various principles in support of ending police violence.
Support These Organizations on the Frontlines
These leaders on the front lines of ending gun violence are essential and they need our support to maintain funding, as well as supply resources for communities suffering the COVID19 pandemic and the public health crisis of gun violence.
This is Our Ground
"Stand Your Ground" laws are a license to kill, we must take action. We're calling on Governors to put the safety of their constituents first, and take action to dismantle “Stand Your Ground” laws. Join us
