Public Awareness
Beyond the immediate loss of life, shooting violence perpetuates a cycle of retaliation and vengeance, perpetuating a culture of fear and hostility.
Together, we must stand united in our resolve to reject violence as a means of conflict resolution and instead promote empathy, understanding, and peaceful dialogue.
