Mission
Protect Minnesota promotes a culture of health and safety for all Minnesotans by preventing gun violence through research education advocacy and community investment. We emphasize prevention using a public health model and we seek to build a strong statewide values-based movement to end gun violence that recognizes the issue as one of justice and human rights.
Program accomplishments
- We have been working to prevent gun violence since 1991. We started out as Citizens for a Safer Minnesota - a coalition of 16 statewide medical public health law enforcement social justice and faith groups. We passed the first law in the country preventing domestic abusers from purchasing guns which later became the model for the national law still in effect. In 2005 Citizens for a Safer Minnesota merged with Million Moms March Minnesota to create Protect Minnesota. We are committed to the public health approach to gun violence focusing on prevention through evidence-based solutions and modifying the behavior of populations. We have a researcher on staff and have established the Northstar Public Health Conference on Gun Violence to make up-to-date national and state-based research on gun violence available to professionals across the state. We formed the Interfaith Alliance for Gun Safety because faith communities working together are the most powerful agents for change in MN.Expenses $167,426 · grants $15,000 · revenue $167,230
