Why this petition matters

Started by Jeremicia Vance

The community is affected by the gun violence from the youth in the community. My son got killed March 5,2022 due to gun violence of an youth. In between the ages of 14-19 are the youth that's committing crimes. In Memphis the crime rate of Juveniles is 58% as of right now. The youth population has decreased due to gun violence. 

If things change, the youth will have a better opportunity in being successful. Being able to live out their dreams, not looking over their shoulders wondering if it's safe for them to be out in the community.

 Now if things stay the same, the youth want have a chance of living their best life. They will fall victim, because then they will terrorize the community, corrupt the youth that's trying to be successful.

The youth of today's time deserve to grow up. Have a life. Be essential. Make their dreams come true... Be happy. We have some youths that have big dreams of being somebody. Their lives are cut short, because of senseless crimes.
