Mission Statement
PAX is a national non-profit organization working with all Americans to help bring an end to gun violence against children and families. Founded in 1998, it has become the largest non-lobbying organization dedicated to the gun violence issue in the United States.
School shootings can be prevented, and you can be the key just by calling 1-866-SPEAK-UP to report a weapon threat. In 4 out of 5 school shootings the attackers tell other students about their plans beforehand. Most recently, the shooter in Finland put a video warning on YouTube. After a teenager shot 4 people in Cleveland, students recalled they just didn't take the threat seriously. If you know about something, the stakes are just too high to stay silent. So tell a trusted adult or call 1-866-SPEAK-UP. It's completely anonymous. In only five years, 1-866-SPEAK-UP has received over 20,000 calls and has helped students prevent countless tragedies.
Add this number to your cell phone, share it with your friends, and ask your school to help spread the message. Most importantly, call it if you know about a weapon threat! Join the SPEAK UP Group and visit speak up.com to learn more.
