Campaign to Stem
Societal Violence

Follow-up and Suggested Resources

Your campus' participation in the Enough is Enough campaign can initiate or reaffirm a long-term commitment to community building and violence prevention. Develop partnerships with larger community and secondary schools in particular. Further educate yourself and others on issues surrounding campus violence prevention. Make available increased service opportunities and community-building activities. Keep the issue on the front burner, making available ongoing opportunities for a wide range of members of the campus and larger community to speak publicly against violence. Run regular columns or feature boxes in the campus and/or local newspaper. Regularly take advantage of other campus media and any social networking platforms on which your campus is active. A group may want to monitor and take action on related legislative activity, such as issues of "concealed carry" on campus, cyber bullying, etc.

This is the national philanthropy of Alpha Kappa Lambda. In essence, handprints are cut out of colored paper and people sign their names on the hands and pledge that their hands will never be used to commit interpersonal acts of violence. Another way this initiative is implemented is through students placing their hand in colored paint and leaving their print on a white banner. This symbolizes both the diversity and unity of the campus, and serves as a visual representation of how many people have pledged to resolve matters in a non-violent way.
