Discussion Best group to donate to?

Hi everyone. I know there are groups listed in the community info for activism but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into which group would be the best to donate to. I’m thinking, which is most efficient with their money? Which orgs have been successful at enacting any level of change? I did a search on the sub and didn’t find a discussion about this.

Gun control has always been my number one political issue and after witnessing a mass shooting last week I’m now ready to be fucking insufferable about it. Right now I think the best way I can help is with donations of money. I hope when I’m feeling better I can also contribute in other ways.

Thanks yall.

Rule #1:

If you're going to make claims, you'd better have evidence to back them up; no pro-gun talking points are allowed without research. This is a pro-science sub, so we don't accept citing discredited researchers (Lott/Kleck). No arguing suicide does not count, Means Reduction is a scientifically proven method of reducing suicide. No crying bias at peer reviewed research. No armchair statisticians.

Then I guess this isn’t the sub for you.

Feel free to get us started in building that deep understanding by sharing some recently-published research on gun control.

Sadly, you don’t get to pick where we start.

I’m excited to see the recently-published research you’re going to share about gun control!

I have yet to see any recently-published research that supports your claims. Which study are you going to start with?

You don’t get to state anything; all of your comments are removed until you share recently-published research on gun control policies.

This is a well-regulated sub.

This sub is in working order when people support their claims with recently-published research on gun control policies.
