Less gun violence.
Healthier communities.

Every day, four Pennsylvanians die from gun violence. Code Red PA envisions Commonwealth communities that are safe from all types of gun violence and their lasting effects on health and wellbeing.

We are a passionate and diverse group of Pennsylvanians united in our goal to reduce gun violence in the Commonwealth. We are led by health care and public health professionals and supported by members across Pennsylvania who want to reduce every type of gun violence. Our membership includes representatives from dozens of states and local organizations, including Pennsylvania’s largest healthcare systems, public health officials from every corner of the Commonwealth and gun violence survivor groups. Together, we advocate on behalf of safer and healthier communities.

Code Red PA was born out of a 2018 professional conference about gun violence. Inspired to act, health professionals across Pennsylvania organized Code Red PA to continue the momentum and collaboration from that event.
