Report highlights voices of key lawmakers, survivors, advocates, and researchers working to end the public health crisis of gun violence.

Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly released The Kelly Report: A Vision for a Safer America. Congresswoman Robin Kelly pioneered the report as a one-of-a-kind Congressional analysis of the nation’s gun violence epidemic and a blueprint for ending the crisis.

The Kelly Report: A Vision for a Safer America brings together Members of Congress, survivors, academics, and gun reform advocates to examine the root causes and impacts of gun violence in America and provides a comprehensive set of legislative and policy recommendations to stop it. Contributors to the report include members of Congress and organizational leaders. 

Ten years ago, Rep. Kelly released the first version of this report after winning her seat in Congress on a platform of gun violence prevention. Rep. Kelly made headlines during her first full term for refusing to stand during moments of silence, demanding action instead of empty gestures. 

“I came to Washington because I couldn’t stand to watch Congress do nothing while children were ripped away from their families day after day. I published the first Kelly Report in 2014 to address gun violence as the public health crisis it truly is."
