What the petition asks
As of 3 March, there have been at least 13 murders in London so far in 2019. Of those five were aged 19 or under. Our children are being murdered on the street. We need to take measures to prevent knives falling into the wrong hands.
Recently a family friend joined this statistic. Don’t let the next person to die be a friend or family member of yours!
