Gun violence

1. Write a letter to the Columbus Director of Public Safety Ned Pettus, Mayor Ginther, Chief Quinlan, Council Member Mitchell Brown, & Council President Shannon Hardin.  
2. Copy and paste the body of the letter here:

 

Dear Director of Public Safety Ned Pettus, Mayor Ginther, Chief Quinlan, Council Member Mitchell Brown, & Council President Shannon Hardin

As a supporter of B.R.E.A.D., I applaud the leadership of Deputy Director George Speaks in bringing agencies together through “the Safe Neighborhoods Initiative” to stop the violence.  At the same time I know that more must be done.  I stand with other B.R.E.A.D. leaders in support of a 2 year contract between the agencies associated with Safe Neighborhoods Initiative and the National Network for Safe Communities to ensure significant decreases in murders and group violence.  I am asking you to work with Deputy Director Speaks to secure the funding necessary for this partnership. 

 

3. Email your letter to breadcolumbus@gmail.com
