Guns Down Friday works in Washington, D.C., and Prince George’s County to support families who have lost children to  homicide, suicide, and mental Illness. We provide comfort and referrals to mental health services, athletics, and dance programs. We assist families financially for necessities like shoes and sports equipment as well as memorials and headstones. By organizing vigils and protests, we help families and community members process their grief and honor the memories of those departed.
