What can we do to minimize this violence?
To minimize violecne we could starting having neighborhood recration centers have disscussion or diffeent activites for the s=children so that we can get them off the corners and the streets. So that they are occupied with something else other than drugs and hanging on the corner half the night. We also could have more police out at night on the corners getting the children in the house safe so that the violence doesn't increase.
How can we bring about change?
We can bring about change by getting unlisenced guns off the streets, making sure children under 18 aren't outside half the night, and more security around the neighborhoods and schools areas.
How does it affect our identity?
It affects our identity by how we abuse it. We abuse it by using unlisenced guns to kill each other and young children are out here working on corners and using violence such as guns and fighting. I think if we didn't abuse the issuse that there are unlisenced guns out there that people could get to use that we would be safer because if its a lisenced gun they should use it for self defense not to kill people. We would be more safer if we would stop the violence and increase the peace

I think this is an important issue that i am glad that is being addressed. i know that this march goes on every year. Stoping the violence march is something that effects poeple who have had people in their lives die from violenece, and they come out to supposrt to hope trhat this issue sinks into the minds of people who own a weapon that can kill. Its not only weapons its poeple too. Violence can be fighting and it needs to stop. If this march goes on every year why do we continue to have so many people dying in Philadelphia? People need to really come out and listen to the message that we are trying to get across because having more than a thousand people dying is unexceptable. They need more cops to get these drug dealers off the street, the guns off the street and our kids need to stay safe. I hope the message that we present helps people to understand that this matter in hand needs to be handled because we need to stop the violence and increase the peace.
