"A domestic violence protection order is not just a piece of paper. It is a legal order which represents a network dedicated to protecting that survivor from future acts of violence. As advocates and practitioners, we must understand how to give life and power to these protections, that protections are easy to implement, and that they actually save lives."

This toolkit offers resources and strategies to address the intersection of domestic violence and firearms, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It supports advocates in educating communities about the life-saving value of protection orders and improving the implementation of firearm prohibitions to protect survivors.
