No Guns Allowed

Homicide is the #2 cause of death of 15-24 year olds in America in 2013. Inspired by Snoop Lion's "No Guns Allowed" song, the League of Young Voters' campaign to decrease gun violence in our cities is just beginning. The No Guns Allowed movement aims to push for peace and love by using our stories to promote healing and justice. Take the Pledge to Put the Guns Down in Your Community.

“Outrage is spreading across the UVA campus, over the bloody arrest of honor student Martese Johnson. The 20-year-old can be seen in a cell phone video gone viral, being held on the ground by ABC agents. The altercation is now at the center of a police brutality investigation, called for by the governor. Martese Johnson himself took the mic, speaking to everyone when things got a bit heated:

"I want the remainder of students out there to be able to share their opinions and feelings. So I beg you guys, regardless of your personal opinions, and the way you feel about subjects, to please respect everyone here. We’re all part of one community. And we deserve to respect each other, especially at times like this”

Students called for an end to racism and prejudice which they say they feel not only on campus, but in everyday life in our society. Students shared emotional accounts of how they say they’ve been mistreated because of their race.” NBC News: http://bit.ly/1AIoFZI

This statistic is daunting. We are not anti-guns. We support responsible gun ownership. But the fact remains we have a gun problem in America and divesting from gun manufacturers is a start to saving lives. #nogunsallowed #cutekids #imunloading #Ferguson #Newton #Atlanta #NewYork #Chicago #Houston #Miami #DC

Snoop Dogg, Jhené Aiko, Aloe Blacc are among a handful of entertainers, athletes and tech leaders who want individuals with 401K plans to divest from the gun industry. The campaign is called the ”#ImUnloading” movement and it’s a partnership between Unload Your 401K and anti-violence movement No Guns Allowed.
