National Campaign to End School of Violence

1410 Orchard Street, Eugene, OR, 97403, (541) 726-0512

http://www.ribbonofpromise.org
A non-profit organization working to end violence in schools. Started in Eugene, Oregon after a shooting in Thurston high school in 1996 that claimed the lives of two students and injured 22 others. The organization now has four chapters nationwide. The organization has a three-part strategy that includes, prevention education, early intervention, and the enforcement of laws that deal with school violence. It supports laws to prevent and punish violations such as illegal possession of weapons, and supports more restrictive laws to provide even greater protection to those attending and working in schools.
