Connecticut Against Gun Violence is a civic and social organization based in Fairfield, Connecticut, focused on advancing gun safety through legislative change. Its work spans local, state, and national levels, engaging in the political process to identify, develop, and promote policies aimed at reducing gun violence. The organization serves lawmakers, advocates, and the broader public seeking safer communities by influencing policy discussions and legislative outcomes. With a moderate organizational size, CAGV operates within the United States’ gun-violence prevention space, positioning itself alongside other advocacy groups that pursue systemic reforms through formal policy channels. In April 2022, the organization participated in a partnership with the City of New Haven to help gather public input for a blueprint for a new Office of Violence Prevention, reflecting its active role in community-centered violence reduction initiatives.
