Join us for a free public forum with GIFFORDS Co-founder Peter Ambler, and hear GIFFORDS.org mission to save lives from gun violence.

Recent national battleground research conducted by GIFFORDS found that 70% of Americans in battleground districts voters are “extremely” or “very” concerned about gun violence. These findings suggest that with control of the House, Senate, and White House at stake, 2024 is a critical year for public safety. Electorally, GIFFORDS is making strategic investments to make the difference in races where the issue of gun violence is uniquely positioned to put campaigns over the top. GIFFORDS is also supporting the advocacy efforts of gun sense champions in office across the country, with a special focus on congressional districts where gun violence messaging is powerful among women and Latino voters. We hope you will join us for this engaging conversation on gun safety progress in our country, what’s at stake, and how you can get involved to support GIFFORDS and their gun violence prevention advocacy efforts. You are welcome to RSVP with the GIFFORDS organization here.

SPEAKER

Peter Ambler

Peter Ambler co-founded GIFFORDS with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Senator Mark Kelly, and served as the executive director of GIFFORDS from 2013-2023. Since its founding, GIFFORDS has emerged as a national leader in the gun violence prevention movement, including organizing a coalition of responsible gun owners who support commonsense gun safety laws across the U.S. Under Peter's leadership, he oversaw GIFFORDS' defining moments as it has challenged the NRA, changed the politics and culture of guns, won elections, and passed over 300 gun safety laws across the country. Prior to co-founding GIFFORDS, Peter served as then-Representative Gabby Giffords' Legislative Director in 2011 when she was shot at a Tucson supermarket during a constituent event. He is a graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
