Speak Up Posters submissions 2010
Check out the PAX/ SPEAK UP Poster Design contest – a creative way to get a community involved in a campaign to prevent guns in schools. PAX created a program called “SPEAK UP” which allows kids to report weapons threats in school via text and 1800 number anonymously. The contest call for kids to design a poster that displays the contact information. The winner will get their poster turned into a billboard displayed this summer. The contest helps the kids to know the program and the information and encourages them to understand that they can have the power to help themselves, their schools and their friends.
PAX is a nonpolitical nonprofit organization working with all Americans to bring an end to gun violence against children and families. PAX’s two innovative programs – SPEAK UP and ASK (Asking Saves Kids) — offer practical solutions for protecting children from gun violence. 70% of youth responded they would report another student who brought a weapon to school.
