PAX/Real Solutions to Gun Violence is a nonpolitical nonprofit founded in 1998 that provides solutions all Americans can embrace to protect their families and children from gun violence, a public health crisis that claims the lives of eight young people every day.

The ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Campaign urges parents to ask if there is a gun in the homes where their children play.  The SPEAK UP Campaign features 1-866-SPEAK-UP, the first and only national hotline for students to anonymously report weapon threats. www.paxusa.org
