Go to our www.vidivoice.com to find out how to do it. It's easy, fun and will make a difference!.

The Brady Center's Hispanic/Latino Outreach Initiative kicked off a Spanish-language media campaign on May 7, 2007 in the Dallas/Fort Worth market. The campaign consists of radio ads, newspaper ads, and materials distribution, with the theme: "A gun in your home is a risk to your family and community." The radio ads are on KESS-FM and KLNO-FM and the print ads are in El Hispano News. The ads listed a toll-free number for listeners/readers to call to access more information about gun violence prevention and receive free materials.

Listeners/readers are also able to be referred to local community based organizations, health groups and agencies, and faith groups, with Spanish-speaking staff, due to the efforts of the Dallas Chapter, who identified these resources and networked with the City Council to make this happen. The media campaign will run through the week of May 27, 2007.

The Brady Center's God Not Guns Coalition has announced the last weekend in September (September 29-30) will be the first observance of an annual God Not Guns Sabbath. This observance is being planned in partnership with Riverside Church in New York City. If you want information about how your congregation can participate in this special time of worship please visit the God Not Guns website. The Coalition hopes that congregations of every faith will join us as we mourn the lives lost to gun violence and renew our commitment to the Divine vision of a peaceable kingdom.
