#DontShoot365 "Gun Buy Back"
Our streets are crying tears of blood! We are losing our loved ones at alarming rates. Join The Movement by pushing this initiative to clean up streets and create a healthy, safe environment for our youth, families and our communities. #DontShoot365
Why is this important?
With the presence of gun violence in the city of Akron, Ohio, it is apparent that the community take control of our neighborhoods! It's time to come together and take an aggressive approach to help heal the city of senseless violence. This is a direct call to action, asking folks to put down the guns and protect our village. Stop The Violence Akron Movement, along with various coalitions throughout the city, launched our #DONTSHOOT365 Campaign on August 9, 2015. We are demanding that our Chief of Police support our initiative by sponsoring a city wide Gun Buy Back Program. Akron, your support is needed!
