Protect Community Violence Intervention.
The Trump administration promised the American people it would prioritize safety and security, yet actions to cut Community Violence Intervention (CVI) funding will make communities less safe.
These cuts reverse years of bipartisan progress — from Democrats and Republicans — to support evidence-based, community-led solutions. At a time when we need unity, this decision politicizes public safety and punishes what works.
CVI is an area of bipartisan agreement to combat gun violence and keep communities safe.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about people. Defunding these programs puts lives at risk and destabilizes progress.
This is not a partisan issue. It’s about saving lives and marshalling the collective action of the entire community - frontline workers, community leaders, hospitals, and more.
The decision to cut CVI funding is not based on evidence or effectiveness, it’s political.
To curb deadly gun violence we must implement proven, bipartisan CVI strategies to prevent gun violence before it occurs.
