Good morning girls!

Even though President Obama went to Chicago and addressed the city’s gun violence crisis last Friday, Chicago is still suffering from senseless youth murders.

 Janay Mcfarlane, 18 years old, was shot and killed the same day her sister sat behind President Obama as he addressed the crisis of gun violence.  Janay was shot in the head during a family visit in North Chicago. She was a new mother of a precious 3 month year old baby boy. Only weeks after the shooting of  15-year-old honor student Hadiya Pendleton, another tragedy happened.

President Obama  went to Chicago to discuss the importance of stopping gun violence. He  talked about how all children make bad decisions, but some young people have a stronger safety net, ensuring that bad decisions early in life do not harm their futures. President Obama stated that what saved him was his mother and grandparents who were able to respond with needed resources to protect him from long term harm.

We all have to make a difference and take a stance to stop the violence in our communities. If  it’s signing a petition, attending a rally or creating an organization, your voice  can make a HUGE difference.

Take a look at Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton , the mother of Hadiya Pendleton, to see how she is making her voice heard.

If you could do 1 thing to get your VOICE heard to stop gun violence, what would it be?

SPEAK OUT!

Hey Fly Girls!

We are SUPER excited that our Spring Session for C.O.R.E On-Site is kicking off today! We’re giving a warm welcome & a big Thank You to all of our wonderful volunteers & girls at LEAD Academy! Since the first session is talking about “Creating Your Fly” we wanted to show you what our C.O.R.E collage looks like too!

Good morning Beautiful Girls,

We have to put a stop to all of this senseless violence. Each one of you has too much to offer the world to have your precious  life taken at such an young age.

After Hadiya Pendleton performed with her high school marching band during the presidential inauguration two weeks ago, the King College Prep teen became Chicago’s 42nd homicide victim of 2013. She was gunned down and killed on Chicago’s South Side becoming an unintended victim of a gang dispute.

We know that President Obama cannot solve the issue of gun violence alone. But going to Chicago and addressing Chicago’s youth violence is a priority in dealing with the future of our country.

President Obama rightly went to Newtown to comfort the families who lost children in that horrible tragedy. Now, Chicago needs his leadership & guidance. since over 500 families have loved ones to violence in the last year alone.

Please Sign the petition to get President Obama to make a speech in Chicago dealing with youth & gun violence!
