Sandy Hook Promise is a national, non-profit organization that supports sensible non-policy and policy solutions which protect children and prevent gun violence. The organization is led by family members, whose loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, which claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and 6 educators, and community members. Sandy Hook Promise’s mission is to protect children from gun violence so no other parent experiences the loss of their child by engaging and empowering parents and communities with targeted prevention programs in the areas of mental wellness, early identification and intervention, social and emotional development, and firearm safety and security. Sandy Hook Promise was founded in 2012 and is based in Newtown, Connecticut.
