We invite you to join our efforts to reveal the negative and very real impact of small arms and expose the need for urgent and far-reaching action to control gun running.
 If you are in the New York area, join us at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on July 17th for a public event to raise awareness about the devastating effects of small arms.
 Send us photos, postcards, letters, artwork and stories and we will add them to the Wall of Pain, a 10 metre long visual demonstration of the effects of armed violence in our societies. Write a letter to your Foreign Minister, asking him or her to attend the conference and lobby for effective solutions. Also, urge your government to participate in "Small Arms Destruction Day" on 9 July 2001 to mark the opening day of the conference. Study and share the WCC Policy, Framework and Guidelines on Small Arms and Light Weapons (available on the WCC website) with your constituents and government. Send us stories of how you have taken steps to overcome armed violence. We will post them on our website and share them with government delegations and NGO's at the conference.
