We have had ENOUGH! We are asking Knoxville residents to stop the violence against others. Please sign the pledge and commit to not engage in, watch, listen to, or promote violent acts against others.
Violence in all its forms undermines our quality of life. It reaches into our cities, schools, work-places, and homes. It affects us all. The YWCA is spearheading a nationwide effort to unite individuals against violence in our communities. In observance, YWCA Knoxville is organizing activities and discussion during the YWCA Week Without Violence, held October 18—24, 2009.
