On May 10, 2007, 16 year old BLAIR HOLT, lost his life due to a senseless act of gun violence, while traveling from school on a public bus.

"Magic bullet" is the wrong metaphor, on so many levels, to apply to solutions to Chicago's violence epidemic. Each intervention -- smarter policing, neighborhood watch, providing after-school activities, stronger parenting, getting guns off the steets, reducing violent culture, and giving young people hope for their future -- takes no more than the proverbial bite out of crime.

I will never bring a gun to school;
I will never use a gun to settle a personal problem or dispute;
I will use my influence with my friends to keep them from using guns to settle disputes.
My individual choices and actions, when multiplied by those of young people throughout the country, will make a difference. Together, by honoring this pledge, we can reverse the violence and grow up in safety.
