TO EDUCATE AND ACT AGAINST GUN VILENCE

Gun violence has significantly increased within the past decade and has caused many lives to be lost. Currently, in Rochester, we are in a gun violence state of emergency; this was issued in response to the surge in both shootings and deadly shootings. My design is to create a memorial that tells the story of 3 individuals; Neamiah Wilson, Lysaun Curry, and Trenton Cook. This memorial will act as a place to remember the victims, promote antigun groups to hold events, and educate and advocate for gun control policies to be mandated and enforced. In addition to a memorial, there will also be a small kiosk for donations to various charities and organizations
