The organization isn't really the best suited activist body to make it's central message about victims of violent crimes. Too much of our messaging which tells people vital things about us and the world we're trying to build would be lost.

We would unfortunately have to either cherrypick our tragedies or jump quickly from one to another, ending up with a laundry list of martyrs and no one viewing the message would know anything about our positive goals once the memorializing is done. Finally, as much as I understand the subject, I can't be certain that these families or injured individuals would understand and accept our use of their images. I know how difficult it can be to deal with matters like this without publicity.

Everything we do is already for the sake of those who have been victims, or those who have been disenfranchised, denied, and forgotten. The whole nation is in the context of our message.
