Honorees
This year, we will honor our clients and co-counsel in our case taking on Pennsylvania’s firearm preemption laws, which block most local gun safety laws. The recipients of the Thaddeus Stevens Award this year are those who have stood up to gun violence and who are working with us to clear the roadblocks for meaningful local action that research has shown will save lives in Philadelphia. Learn more about our honorees here.
- Our clients, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh residents who have lost loved ones to gun violence
