Commitment Pledge

Innovating and collaborating to keep communities safe

By signing below, we are making a public promise:

  • If we are in possession of a weapon, we will dispose of it safely
  • We will never wield, or use, a weapon of any type that could cause harm to anyone
  • If we feel we don’t have options, we will ask for help
  • If someone we know has a weapon, we will report it
  • We will always strive to behave in a non-violent manner
  • We will encourage and support our friends to join us in these promises 
  •  
  • We now also run business pledges and are helping districts to have designated "Safe Spaces" across the county. If you own a business and want to take part, check out our project pages.
