Just Think Twice: National ad campaign created by teens against gun violence.

Just Think Twice is a new organization founded by teenagers and ran by Mary-Pat Hector to stop gun violence across the United States. The groups mission is to encourage young people to think twice before using a gun.

The group post billboards like the one below in the hopes of stopping gun violence.

On the group's sites it states:

At Just Think Twice, we aim to rebuild hope where it’s been damaged or lost. We firmly believe it takes a village to raise a child, and if you work on creating the most well equipped society you can, so many problems simply work themselves out.

Here are three points posted on the site:

SAFETY, Maintaining healthy, happy environments is an important, and often neglected part of aid work. We work with local community organizers closely.

ACTION, In communities across the World, young people need your support. They need you to join the fight to stop gun violence.

EDUCATION: We need to educate youth on the dangers of gun violence.
