LEGISLATION WILL BE PREPARED BY  Stop America's Violence Everywhere S.A. V.E. Today for a Better Tomorrow The SAVE initiative to "Stop America's Violence Everywhere" was launched by the AMA Alliance in June 1995, in response to the disturbing toll that violence was taking in our local communities. S.A. V.E. Day became a day to heighten awareness of the need for crisis intervention and to educate the public; in particular children. Violence leaves lasting physical and emotional scars that can destroy the lives of families and communities. The message of S.A. V.E. continues to focus on the serious public health issue of violence in our homes, schools, and communities. Wednesday, October 14,2015 will mark the 20 th Anniversary ofS.A.V.E. Day. Beginning on October 1st and culminating on October 14th , we invite you, your colleagues, friends, family, businesses, social organizations, and school communities to become visible reminders that we need to take a stand against acts of violence. Join us in making this S.A.V.E. Day a day to heighten awareness across NY State: • On October 14th, wear BLUE clothing and display BLUE lights in your home or business. • Like us on Facebook, and post photos of your group wearing BLUE or standing by a Blue light beginning on October 1st to our "SAVE NY 2015" Facebook page. • Tweet #SA VEDA Y and follow us @SchenMed to Stop America's Violence Everywhere On college campuses, the BLUE light represents a way for students to obtain emergency assistance. In the field of medicine, a "CODE BLUE" is synonymous with a situation requiring immediate assistance. Violence in our communities is an emergent crisis and requires a just response. Join us this October and "Wear BLUE" to Stop America's Violence Everywhere!
