A CARJACKING PREVENTION CAMPAIGN CREATED BY TEENS, FOR TEENS.
Be the Solution
Teens • Join the campaign, spread the word, and sign up for the contest to win cash prizes • Never get in a car with someone without a license or someone driving an unknown or stolen car • Tell your friends your expectations when you’re riding with them • If you are pulled over—STOP. Do not flee. You endanger your life and the lives of others and the penalties for being caught are worse for running • Don’t drive under the influence • If you car about your friends who steal cars or ride stollies, tell them to STOP • Don’t drive reckless
Parents • Know who your teen's friends are • Know where they’re going when they walk out the door • Talk about your expectations when it comes to riding in cars with other teens • Talk about expectations and what to do if pulled over by police • Keep keys to vehicles in a safe and secure location
Community • Get involved! Volunteer with a local nonprofit or youth serving agency • If you see an abandoned car parked in your alley or on your block—report it ASAP. It may be stolen • Look out for all the youth in your neighborhood. We all have a responsibility to ensure that our youth and community are safe • Become a mentor: www.milwaukeementor.com • Read and support Milwaukee’s Blueprint for Peace: www.414LIFE.com • Support the Solution by donating to Running Rebels Community Organization which provides court-appointed programing for youth involved in carjackings. • Donate to the Milwaukee Violence Prevention Fund at Greater Milwaukee Foundation 414-272-5805or www.greatermilwaukeefoundation.org
