Too many loved ones have been lost to violence in the streets and I recognize that peace starts here and now.

• I dedicate my pledge to: (name or names of loved ones lost to violence - optional)

• I pledge to LEAD BY EXAMPLE, to GIVE BACK TO MY HOOD, and to treat others the way I want to be treated - because what you give you get back. I recognize my OWN POWER and see that my actions (both good and bad) have consequence. I believe that people in my community DESERVE TO LIVE WITH HONOR, RESPECT, and PEACE OF MIND and I WILL DEMAND JUSTICE from the system and from those around me to make that possible. EVERYONE has a role to play in bringing peace to our neighborhoods.

  My commitment to "Silence the Violence" in my community or in my city is:

  (examples: "I will end a conflict I have in my life, I will sign my little brother/sister up for a sports team, I will connect with my neighbors...")
