  • The Bergen Chapter of the Brady Campaign is proud of our partnership with Women for Progress. We look forward to working together toward the common goal of eliminating gun violence from the lives of our citizens, locally, nationally and worldwide.

  • What makes Women for Progress such a special organization is how they’ve galvanized a community of women in a short amount of time, that eagerly come together at events that are learning and action-oriented. WFP understands the desire for change that the women in their group have, and they wisely use that knowledge to help move their causes forward. In turn, they are empowering these women to listen to their own inner voice, speak truth to power, and help shape that deep desire to do more, into real action.
