Campaign to Stem
Societal Violence

Planning Your Events

1. Determine the Dates for Your Event(s)
   For the greatest national impact, we are encouraging communities across the country to hold Enough is Enough Week activitiesApril 2-6, 2012. If you are unable to participate at that time, please choose alternate dates, as working to stem societal violence is timeless!
    
2. Promote Your Events
   Use the Key Messages and suggestions that follow to promote your events, as appropriate.
    
3. Determine the Format for Your Events
   We have provided a variety of suggestions for consideration when planning your Enough is Enough Week; please feel free to select those most appropriate for your particular community, and modify as appropriate...or come up with your own ideas, drawing upon your community's unique climate.
    
4. Involve All Segments of the Community
   By involving the broad diversity of your community in planning and carrying out Enough is Enough activities, you can draw on a whole range of skills and get a broader population invested in the success of the program. Tap existing leaders, but also look for new leaders to emerge and work to intentionally develop this new group.
    
5. Build on Your Enough is Enough Week
   Don't let this week be a one-time event. Build on the successes of the week and continue the discussions throughout the year. Take advantage of other "hooks" to tie follow-up activities to, such as "National Give Life Month" or "Global Youth Service Days." Continue to build relationships and broaden the reach of your anti-violence efforts.
