Student group RiGhTeOuSNoIsE of Spelman College takes a stand against gun violence: We Want Common Sense Gun Laws

Students Say that Enough is Enough, Gun Violence is Too Much

Atlanta, GA, September 11, 2009 – Jasmine Lynn, a sophomore at Spelman College, was hit in the chest and killed by a stray bullet on Thursday, September 3, 2009 on the campus of Clark Atlanta University.

Jerome Jones, a student at Clark Atlanta University was also hit by a stray bullet on the wrist and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. The shots were fired during an escalated fight.

Students are hurt and angry, fed up with the countless lives lost to senseless gun violence. They are banning together and letting their voices be heard.

RiGhTeOuSNoIsE, a student led social justice movement on Spelman’s campus, has organized a rally against gun violence in honor of the lives of Jasmine Lynn and other unnamed victims loss to senseless gun violence. The student movement will rally for Common Sense Gun Laws and an Operation Cease Fire Intervention Program within the city of Atlanta.

The RiGhTeOuSNoIsE march against gun violence will take place on Friday, September 18, 2009 at 12:00pm. It will be begin at the intersection of James P. Brawley, proceed down MLK Dr and at the Georgia State Capitol Building located at 7 Martin Luther King Dr, Atlanta, Fulton, Georgia 30334.

The RiGhTeOuSNoIsE rally against gun violence will take place on Friday, September 18, 2009 at 2:00pm. It will precede the march and be held at the Georgia State Capitol Building located at 7 Martin Luther King Dr, Atlanta, Fulton, Georgia 30334.

RiGhTeOuSNoIsE will join forces across the nation on said date with Father Michael L. Pfleger of Saint Sabina Church and the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference, both of Chicago, as well as Melech Thomas (Mr. Howard Univ.) of Howard University in Washington, D.C.

“I think that it’s amazing that organizations across the country can come together to rally around the same cause (gun violence), on the same day, and with the same goals.” says Brittnee Austin, co-founding member of RiGhTeOuSNoIsE “The effort being put forth by all parties really speaks to the urgency of addressing out of control gun violence in our communities.”

RiGhTeOuSNoIsE encourages anyone for the cause of controlling gun violence and minimizing the number of countless victims to bring their persons, their thoughts and opinions, and their healing to the rally on September 18, 2009 at 2:00pm.
