STOP: Gun and Knife Crime

Alexander Rose London

'I was boiling inside and looked up to the sky and thought a life had gone for no reason... I just had to do something'

My campaign

Friends and family members have died because of gun and knife crime. I want young people to STOP carrying weapons and think about what else is out there, apart from joining a gang. I’m using T-shirts designs to fight the negative gangster image and I want to inspire others to do something positive too. Everyone can use what they have to do something.

My Campaign Highlights

- Meeting Bishop Desmond Tutu

- Meeting my mentor John Bird from the Big Issue

- Attending  the People’s March against gun and knife crime in London

- The Body Shop putting on a STOP event for my campaign in 100 of their stores

How can you help?

- Buy and wear one of my STOP T-shirts – and send me a pic of you in it

- Put up a STOP poster up in your school and youth club

- See if your school wants to put on a STOP workshop and let me know

Hi Alex, Im a photography student and my current brief is to create a series of editorial images. I have chosen to base my project on knifecrime. This is quite personal to me as my mum and sister got stabbed in leicester last year. Fortunatley they are still here to tell the tale. Im just wondering where I can get hold of your t-shirts, so I can use them in my pictures. Also, if you have any inspiring storys or comments to tell that you think I could convert into an image? I have to submit a hardback book, so im thinking of telling my personal storys on knifecrime and then researching how people arrive at knifecrime. So, if you have any inspiration for me let me know and where I can get a t-shirt.

Hi, I have stumbled across this site by accident! My name is Russell Symons and run an education project called 'Impressionable Minds'. We are based in London but get round to various schools in the UK delivering crime workshops (including Gangs, Guns and Knife crime awareness). I would love to talk with you Alex about how we can create some links. Thanks - Russell

Hi Alex, Hope you are well. Hopefully Grace will have updated you on our progress in Bristol!! The link for the venue where our STOP for Fashion, fashion show is being held is attached so you can have a quick look http://www.paintworksbristol.co.uk/index.php?id=41&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=107&tx_ttnews[backPid]=5&cHash=2ec63d7445 We have the posters out and about and the fliers advertising as well.

You are an inspiration to the young people out there today and we need more people like yourself promoting the detrimental effect this situation plays in society. Keep up the good work. Will you be doing any public talks/events in London in the near future? Please let me know of any details you may have.
