What Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence does
Mission
To empower educators and allies to demand that communities are safe from gun violence.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We participated in dozens of conferences, reaching tens of thousands of educators -- hearing from them, talking with them about their fears and their students fears of gun violence. This fiscal year is the first one with a full time Executive Director. Many structures were put in place, including the hiring of our Director of Development (started in April 2025) and our Communications Consultant.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $17k to $250k (+1335%).
