Stop The Violence Film Festival in Jamestown NY on May 30

As a community we not only have the ability, but also the responsibility to make a difference in the lives of our children and the well-being of students in our schools.  This can be achieved through education and inspiration, which is why we are proud to announce the following FREE community event; The "STOP THE VIOLENCE" Film Festival, hosted by the Jamestown Pride Society will be held at the Jamestown Community College Hamilton Collegiate Center (Student Union) on May 30, 2015 from noon to 9 PM.  The goal of the event is to educate on the continued issue of bullying within our schools and community and provide resources that exist to battle this problem.  As you read this, students in our country are currently being bullied and assaulted while others are contemplating suicide as a way out of the problem.  Its time that we stand up and address this by providing options and showing solutions.  Doing so will be achieved in the following ways.  Through the screening of four informative and inspiring award winning films including "Out in the Silence" which was filmed locally.  Through the screening of student films from Jamestown High School, through the educational words of guest speakers such as those who have lived through bullying locally and through the  presentations of organizations such as the Western New York Anti-Violence Project that has already made a difference and can do the same in our own community.  Infinity performing arts will be providing entertainment at the event! Many businesses and organizations have answered the call to "STAND UP AGAINST BULLYING" by agreeing to be present for this event where they will be selling crafts, gifts, refreshments or distributing information on their products or services. Popcorn is unlimited and free to all attendants. This is an all ages event!  The event runs from noon to 9pm. A full schedule of activities and more information can be found at jamestownpride.com.  As a community, it's important that we all stand up together to show that we are united in the fight to end bullying.
