Our country is in the grip of a gun violence epidemic. Every American will know a victim of gun violence in their lifetime—this is not normal, and it doesn’t have to be this way. Giffords is fighting to end the gun lobby’s stranglehold on our political system. We’re daring to dream what a future free from gun violence looks like. We’re going to end this crisis, and we’re going to do it together.

Souls Shot Portrait Project
Souls Shot Portrait Project
This project links fine artists with families or friends of victims of gun violence. The artists meet with the victims' loved ones and create works that relay the essence of the person being portrayed. Exhibiting these diverse portraits in traveling exhibitions brings attention to, memorializes, and humanizes the lives lost and tragically altered due to gun violence.
