Who Is Wheelchairs Against Guns?

Wheelchairs Against Guns is a non-profit organization of individuals who live with disabilities as a result of gun violence. Each week, members of the organization visit inner city schools to educate students about the negative effects of bullying, gangs, and violence.

Because of their first hand experiences in urban environments, members of WAG are able to provide real world solutions to potentially toxic situations in a way inner city students can relate to and understand.

How WAG fights against bullying and gun violence

Wheelchairs Against Guns is in the trenches every day, conducting anti-violence workshops at inner city schools and churches. When members of WAG share their personal stories about the realities of gun violence, students become engaged and give the speakers their undivided attention. This engagement makes WAG very effective in teaching them ways to avoid potentially violent situations. The foundation of WAG’s anti-violence workshops are built on 3 pillars:

Conflict Resolution Strategies

Critical Thinking Techniques

Building Self Respect and Positive Self Esteem

Your support can help save a child's life

Every week, WAG rolls into inner-city schools, community centers and neighborhoods to talk to at-risk youth about the dangers of bullying, gangs, and gun violence — because we've lived it. The stories we share reach young people in a way statistics never will, and we've seen them change minds before tragedy strikes. But we can only show up when the funding allow us. Your donation — no matter the size — puts us in front of more students, in more classrooms and community centers, in more neighborhoods that need us most. Every dollar fuels another workshop, another testimony, another chance to redirect a life before it's too late.
