This vigil is part of PEP\u2019s larger campaign advocating for stronger gun legislation, improved domestic violence protections, and public investments that prioritize human well-being over militarization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why We Gather: Gun Violence Is a Women\u2019s Issue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gun violence in the United States is often framed as a problem of public spaces\u2014mass shootings, policing, or street violence. But for millions of women, the most dangerous place is their own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>A <a href=\"https:\/\/everytownresearch.org\/report\/guns-and-violence-against-women\/\" title=\"\">woman is killed<\/a> by a current or former intimate partner every 12 hours in the U.S., and more than half of those murders involve a gun.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Access to a firearm makes it five times more likely that an abusive partner will kill a woman.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Black, Latina, Indigenous, and immigrant women face disproportionately high levels of firearm-related domestic violence, due to intersecting economic, racial, and systemic vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These deaths rarely make national headlines. They unfold quietly, out of view, in living rooms, bedrooms, and parking lots\u2014yet they reflect a pattern of violence as devastating as any national crisis. When guns are present in situations of domestic conflict, everyday disagreements can escalate into irreversible loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our vigil acknowledges these women. We speak their names, honor their memories, and refuse to let their stories be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our Commitment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/peaceeconomyproject.org\/wordpress\/\" title=\"\">PEP\u2019s work<\/a> includes advocating for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Stronger domestic violence protections<\/strong>, including closing loopholes that allow abusers access to firearms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Policies that prioritize community safety<\/strong>, rather than militarized responses that often fail to protect women and marginalized communities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Redirecting resources<\/strong> toward housing, healthcare, education, and violence-prevention programs that create real safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Join Us in Love and Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We welcome survivors, families, advocates, community members, and partners to stand with us on February 14.
