GIFFORDS is a United States-based public policy organization dedicated to reducing gun violence. Led by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, it pursues policy change and cultural shifts to save lives. It operates through three arms—the policy-advocacy group, the GIFFORDS Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, and GIFFORDS PAC—each focused on different aspects of gun-violence prevention. The Law Center has functioned for nearly 25 years and was founded in the wake of the 101 California Street shooting in San Francisco to research, draft, enact, and defend protective laws. In 2024, the organization launched a Texas program as part of its national expansion. Its activities target lawmakers and their constituents, aiming to inform and mobilize support for lifesaving policies at the federal and state levels.
