Alert
"Tell Someone Before It
Hurts"
Violence Prevention
and Education  Toll Free Hotline: 866-Marsai-8
The Marsai Alert
(Making an Alliance for a Responsible
Society to Act and Intervene) is a nonprofit
organization that will provide a mechanism for students and community
members to report threats of violence before they become acts of
violence. The Marsai Alert will
educate the public about the community and family devastation caused by
random crime and violence, and about how random violence diminishes the
quality of life for everyone.
17 year old high school senior,
Marsai Murry, was a youth who had a lot going for her. She was a good
student, a leader in her church, a friend to many, and a trusted advisor
to other students. At this time, Marsai Murry should have been going
to college. Instead, Marsai Murry's life was cut short far too
soon!
Marsai Murry was the victim of an
act of senseless, random violence on November 8, 2003. She was the
unintended victim of a young man who thought a gun was the way to settle
an argument with another young man. Unintended or not, Marsai LOST
her life, and we have to understand that she was not "in the wrong place
at the wrong time." Her Killer Was! He shot into a crowd of
people with no regard to who his bullets might strike! The killer's
victim could have just as well been your mother, your farther, your
sister, your brother, your friend or YOU!
You see random violence is random
because it can strike anyone, anywhere at anytime. Random violence
respects no race, age or gender.
Random violence is a threat
to everyone.
