The Movement: 2025 Pledge to Train​
​
Why This Initiative Matters
The "Join the Movement: 2025 Pledge to Train" is more than just a call to action—it’s a mission to empower, educate, and protect our communities. In the face of rising concerns around safety and self-reliance, this initiative was created to ensure that the Black community is equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our shared legacy. Far too often, our community is disproportionately affected by violence and systemic challenges, leaving us vulnerable. By prioritizing training, education, and awareness, we are building a culture of preparedness, confidence, and unity.
​
Our Goal
In 2025, we’re pledging to train 2,025 individuals from the Black community in self-defense, firearm safety, and handgun fundamentals. This ambitious goal is a step toward ensuring that every household has the tools and skills needed to stay safe and empowered. Through structured and responsible training, we aim to foster not just safety but a mindset of responsibility, discipline, and community leadership.
​
Why Training is Important
Firearm training and self-defense education aren’t just about learning how to handle a weapon—they’re about cultivating confidence, awareness, and the ability to make informed decisions in moments of crisis. For generations, the Black community has faced unique threats, including racial violence, unequal access to resources, and a lack of proper representation in firearm education spaces. This initiative bridges that gap, offering training that is culturally relevant and accessible to individuals from all walks of life.
​
When we train, we are no longer bystanders or victims. We take control of our safety, create a stronger sense of security within our homes, and contribute to a culture of empowerment. Together, we are breaking stigmas, reclaiming our narratives, and building a community that is confident and capable of protecting itself.
​
