DoMore4:Good Kindness Tour Continues
As the Cleveland DoMore4:Good Kindness Tour continues, our youth from the Salvation Army-Cleveland Temple made Gun Safety Awareness signs for Moms Demand Action-OH(Moms). The signs noted the following phrases from Moms Demand Action “Be Smart” campaign, which is a conversation about kids, guns, and safety.
Every year, at least 100 children aged 17 and under die in unintentional shootings, and over 400 die by suicide with a gun. Many of these deaths are entirely preventable with responsible gun storage. We know we can keep our kids safer by introducing these five easy steps to parenting and everyday life:
S-Secure guns in homes and vehicles.
M-Model responsible behavior.
A-Ask about unsecured guns in other homes.
R-Recognize the risks of teen suicide.
T-Tell your peers to be SMART
Moms recently participated in the Lakewood, Ohio 4th of July Parade. The youth from the Salvation Army were really excited to know that their work would be a part of such a huge event! During the parade, Cleveland Moms marched to the theme of their "Be Smart" gun safety program.
