Following the shootings in Gilroy, California and El Paso, Texas, the Forward Latino Board of Directors directed leadership to develop and implement and plan to reduce gun violence. Latinos are twice as likely to die from gun violence and four times more likely to be wounded by a firearm.
As such, Forward Latino created the 80% Coalition which includes advocacy, business, faith-based institutions and more. With partners including the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence and Moms Demand Action, our combined efforts resulted in this incremental improvement in gun violence prevention legislation.
The Safer Communities Act of 2022 with its incremental changes represents the first major step to reduce gun violence in over 30 years.
Thank you for your support!

Dear Members, Affiliates, and Supporters,
Last month I attended the White House Cinco de Mayo celebration and discussed our legislative priorities with various secretaries and policymakers. And while there can be no question as to the growing influence of our nation's Hispanic community, there continue to be great challenges before us. From addressing hate, to resolving the numerous issues surrounding our broken immigration system, to passing common-sense measures that will reduce gun violence, to ensuring each and every person has an equal opportunity to achieve the American dream, there is much to be done.
For this reason, I ask for your continued support. From your local volunteer efforts to your financial support of our programs, you are critical to our success.
Thank you once again and God bless,
Darryl D. Morin
National President
