As youth leaders commited to ending gun violence, students involved with the NSO/Youth Initiatives Project have launched a gun violence prevention campaign known as Hugs Not Bullets to discourage celebratory shootings to welcome in the New Year. The campaign, now in its forth year, has brought awareness of the dangers of celebratory shootings to youth and families in Detroit. This achievement is the result of extensive collaboration with the public and with law enforcement partners.
YIP's membership is comprised of a variety of middle school and high school aged youth throughout Detroit. During the coming weeks, they will post commentary, videos and photos of their historic campaign.
We ask that you learn from their experience as they tell their unique story of the dangers of gun violence.
