Stand Against Gun Violence
Good Afternoon Friends, Family and Colleagues,
My hope is that you are all doing well. The last few weeks have absolutely been very emotional for our Nation. Seems like every time we turn on our television we are dealing with yet another senseless shooting. As National Gun Violence Awareness Day is approaching I am asking you to come out and stand together to condemn this public health crisis and promote love and peace. You may be asking yourself, how will this combat gun violence? and the answer is that coming together in unity is actually the first step because it shows that we will not continue to tolerate this, it shows that we are coming together to say Enough is Enough.
We won’t keep you long. We ask you to wear orange and come together in solidarity as we speak out, have a moment of silence, call on the Most High for assistance and discuss action plans to continue the movement to combat gun violence. This event is a COMMUNITY EVENT hosted by SAVE/GOSO and the Community Council.
What small sacrifices can we individually take today, to preserve a healthier and safe nation, state, and neighborhood tomorrow? We cannot exhale once again, make excuses, and accept these tragic realities as the status quo. These are the words of Matthew McConaughey. We owe it to our children to come together in unity and stand together to create an unbreakable bond and a powerful punch so that we can make change for the good.
I have attached the flyer for your perusal with the hopes that programs will bring out their participants and families will come out from around the city. We need you there.
I thank you in advance for coming out and rallying for the cause.
Sincerely,
Kioka Jackson
