Mission	Protect Minnesota promotes a culture of health and safety for all Minnesotans by preventing gun violence through research, education, advocacy, and community investment. We emphasize prevention, using a public health model, and we seek to build a strong, statewide, values-based movement to end gun violence that recognizes the issue as one of justice and human rights.

Desc	We have been working to prevent gun violence since 1991. We started out as Citizens for a Safer Minnesota - a coalition of 16 statewide medical, public health, law enforcement, social justice and faith groups. We passed the first law in the country preventing domestic abusers from purchasing guns, which later became the model for the national law, still in effect. In 2005, Citizens for a Safer Minnesota merged with Million Moms March Minnesota to create Protect Minnesota. We are committed to the public health approach to gun violence, focusing on prevention through evidence-based solutions and modifying the behavior of populations. We have a researcher on staff and have established the Northstar Public Health Conference on Gun Violence to make up-to-date national and state-based research on gun violence available to professionals across the state. We formed the Interfaith Alliance for Gun Safety because faith communities working together are the most powerful agents for change in Minnesota. We also sponsor five other member action teams through which we organize and mobilize key statewide constituencies. We are the driving force behind the Northstar Alliance to Prevent Gun Violence, an emerging statewide coalition of organizations committed to working together to prevent gun deaths. We work in partnership with national gun violence prevention groups, including The Brady Campaign, Giffords, Sandy Hook Promise, Every Town for Gun Safety, and Moms Demand Action, but receive no funding or support from them. We helped create States United to Prevent Gun Violence to coordinate our work with other state-based, independent gun violence prevention groups.	Desc
