Anti-gun violence advocates and elected officials are urging corporations to take an active role in gun crime prevention.
Led by Founder and Executive Director of Community Capacity Development K Bane, neighborhood leaders who are attempting to take an active role in their communities by engaging with youth assembled beneath the ever-looming shadow of the gigantic Star-Spangled Banner hanging from the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday morning. There, they demanded that the richest companies in America do their part to help end the bloodshed.
“Wall Street, if you are really about New York City, here is your opportunity. Here is your opportunity made plain and simple — put your money where your mouth is. Invest in who you have benefitted from for centuries, invest in the communities that you have taken from for generations, here is your opportunity to be involved,” K Bane said.
