#NoRA
NAA is an organizing and policy partner for #NoRA, a collective action initiative to counteract the influence of NRA money in the American political system. #NoRA is “part festival, part protest, part art installation.” Its contributors are organizations, intersectional activism leaders, and social media and cultural influencers who aim to inspire new policy and empower survivors of gun violence.

#GhostVote
NAA urges voters to put common sense gun laws at the top of the agenda in the upcoming elections by casting their ballots in the honor of people who have been silenced by gun violence. Myths & Facts About Guns NAA maintains a page on its website to debunk myths about guns.
NAA emphasizes face-to-face communication locally and nationally. Many events bring together community members to contact representatives or rally for a cause. NAA’s annual vigils brings communities across the country together to remember all victims of gun violence. In addition, NAA sponsors trips for victims and survivors of gun violence to travel to Washington, D.C., to lobby Congress for gun law reform.
NAA is active on social media. It has several campaigns through which people can sign petitions or pledges to promote change.
NAA hosts an annual vigil at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill to remember the 100,000+ people who are lost or injured by gun violence each year. Other vigils are hosted by partner organizations across the nation occur during the month of December. The vigils transform churches and community centers into spaces where people who have been affected by gun violence can come together to pray for and remember their loved ones.
