Description

The Managing Director’s Office’s Office of Violence Prevention (MDO OVP) is seeking quotes for proposals to design and implement a marketing strategy with materials to promote the City of Philadelphia’s gun violence reduction strategy known as the Philadelphia Roadmap to Safer Communities. Commonly referred to as (the Roadmap), this five-year (2019-2024) plan applies several initiatives to reduce the city’s rising gun violence. There were 353 homicides in Philadelphia for 2018, and 355 at the close of last year. While the Roadmap is working in high gear and partnering with law enforcement to reduce those numbers for 2020, this campaign will make clear to the many diverse Philadelphia communities that every available resource is being called upon for this effort. In January of 2019, Mayor Jim Kenney unveiled the Roadmap following the completion of a “Call to Action” mandating the Mayor’s Cabinet and senior leadership develop within 100 days a plan for how to dramatically reduce killings and shootings.
