Ad Love: Sign Their Yearbook

Right now, young people are busy with all of the fun and festive formalities that come with the close of a school year: class rings, proms and signing yearbooks. Some may never get to experience any of these things as their lives were taken too soon at the hands of gun violence. That's the focus of, "Sign Their Yearbook," a sobering initiative from New Yorkers Against Gun Violence.The online "yearbook," which went live last week, also serves as a petition; those signing signal their support for universal criminal background checks for people attempting to purchase firearms. (In 38 states, it is legal to buy guns without submitting to such scrutiny.) After 30 days, the petition—in the form of a handsomely printed physical yearbook—will be submitted to the U.S. Senate, where measures to tighten gun laws have previously failed.This campaign is brilliant. Check out the ad, which gave me chills and be sure to sign the book:[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9z51XUNffc&w=560&h=315]
