I think this could spark a good video response campaign on youtube....
In light of the recent tragedies at Virginia Tech, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is launching a video petition/campaign to raise awareness about gun violence in America, offer support/solutions, and challenge people across the nation to DO something about our gun violence problem.
Please send us a short video clip of yourself urging students, friends, family, elected officials, and your general community to DO something about gun violence. We need your input – your reaction – your story! Add your face and your voice to the growing list of people who want change.
Monday's shooting at Virginia Tech was more than an isolated incident. This was just one episode in a longstanding gun violence problem we have in the United States.
Eight years ago this week, the young people in Littleton, Colorado suffered a horrible attack at Columbine High School, and almost exactly six months ago, five young people were killed at an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania. Since these killings, we've done nothing as a country to end gun violence in our schools and communities. If anything, we've made it easier to access powerful weapons.
Something must be done.
Public officials are afraid to talk about the gun violence issue.
If they won't talk about it, we will!
Please email your videos to [email protected].
Feel free to contact Sumi via email or phone (202) 289-5789 for more information.
We will be posting your responses to our YouTube site (http://www.youtube.com/bradycampaign) and ultimately our various websites. Keep an eye out for your video!
