Published on 1/14/2026
The team working on preventing gun violence distributes free gun trigger-locks in Broward County. In 2025, it distributed more than 5,000 locks.
Many of those locks go to preschools; in 2025, there were 76 new preschool partners.
The tam also received a $5,000 grant from the American Legion and a $250 grant from the Forever Frosty Foundation. Team volunteers have tabled at 14 events.
In addition, the Lock it Up! program will be featured in an upcoming documentary about solutions to gun violence in America.
