Watched the stop the violence episode on March 1st. Thank you SO much. Awesome show. Sometimes I look at shows and think another TALK show. Folks are going to TALK about what needs to done and nothing will happen. Just wanted to let you know that the layout of sharing was effective in making me aware of all pieces of the equation: The doers, the victims, the affected families, the part the church, city officials, community and family needs to play and most importantly the discussion created a desire (even for those of us that have not been affected so far) to want to take ACTION.
