Campaign
Stand Against Violence
Adam Fouracre
Popularity
This is the most popular campaign
In 2005 i began a campaign to reduce violence after my brother was brutally beaten to death. At 18 i collected 26000 signatures on a petition and took them to downing street and had a meeting at the home office. I took part in an Anne Frank exhibition where i gave a presentation and won an award for it and opened up the second part of my campaign. I now go to schools showing the same presentation and giving talks. This is having a great affect so far. I also maintain a website and am currently making a DVD for schools. It is hard and emotional work but it is worth it. I want to expand the campaign and take my message further, hopefully national. I need help to spread the message to others but this is hard without publicity and its impossible to get national coverage where i live.

A worthwhile cause, I experienced a severe beating outside my house by a gang of 12, its taken years to get over, I was very lucky i came out of it with only cuts and bruises, sadly Lloyd didnt, when I heard of Lloyds death it sent a shiver through my body as it was a stark reminder of what had happened to me a few years before. Adam - you have my support 100%, throughout all your campaigns.

This is really important and not to disrespect your campaign, but why don't some of the Battlefront campaigners join up where they are campaigning for something similar? Alex Rose has an excellent campaign against gun and knife violence, he also lost a friend to violence senseless crime. I know your friend was beaten to death but maybe you and Alex and the other campaigner on Battlefront who is doing something similar could join up against all this violence?

Yet again you amaze me with your strength to carry on and push forward. I know that Lloyd will be looking down on his big bro and feeling extra specially proud of your campaign, which seems to have no limits, at the moment. You are truely an inspiration to us all, if only everyone would take a leaf out of your book, the world would be a far better place.

It is very hard to do what you are doing, and to keep on doing it, but in sharing your tragic experience with others, you are helping yourself to come to terms with it - and who knows? - you may make some of our violent young people think about the consequences of their actions.

Everyone loves a nice badge. Especially badgers, for whom they are the primary source of income. Those furry little craftsmen have knocked up a particularly natty Battlefront one which you can stick on Bebo, MySpace, Facebook or your own website to show your support.
Just copy and paste the code below into your website – just like embedding a YouTube player – and then anyone who clicks it will be sent to the Battlefront site, and your page will look at least ninety times as snazzy.
