The Pledge to Protect 901 is a collaborative of grassroots and nonprofit organizations — working alongside activists, government agencies, education and health care organizers — to bring awareness to Memphis and Shelby County residents that they may stand against gun violence and get involved in their community.
Pledge to do your part to stop gun violence. Here is how:
See something - Say something.
YOUR CALL COUNTS.
Know where your kids are; know your neighbors. JOIN OR START A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUP IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
Respect yourself and those around you. VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE SOLUTION.
