Rise Up Youth! Take Action Now!
SAVE the Youth-Michiana Campaign
ABOUT the CAMPAIGN
​Focused on the pillars of social justice for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and their white allies, with the intent to foster agency and change in the local, state, and national communities of middle school aged, high school aged, and young adult aged (18 years old to 22 years old) citizens, the SAVE the YOUTH CAMPAIGN will be the positive change the Michiana (Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan) area is seeking.
​
"Thus Come One" is the core of the campaign, as we will be reminded that all change starts with each one of us.
​
The Soka Gakkai International Organization 3rd President, Dr. Daisaku Ikeda explains:
"There are all sorts of revolutions: political revolutions, economic revolutions, industrial revolutions, scientific revolutions, artistic revolutions...but no matter what one changes, the world will never get any better as long as people themselves...remain selfish and lacking in compassion. In that respect, human revolution is the most fundamental of all revolutions, and at the same time, the most necessary revolution for humankind."
​
"Thus Come One"...each one of us that already has the compassion, wisdom, love, and courage one needs to do what is best for humankind.
​
If you're a middle school aged, high school aged, or a young adult aged (18 years old to 22 years old) citizen, join us in making tangible changes in our local community.

ABOUT the 2-DAY PEACE SUMMIT
​Focused on the pillars of social justice for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and their white allies with the intent to foster agency and change in the local, state, and national communities of middle school aged, high school aged, and young adult aged (18 years old to 22 years old) citizens, the SAVE the Youth Campaign will be the change the Michiana (Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan) area is seeking.
​​
We will launch the campaign with a Social Justice 2-Day Peace Summit, in honor of Isaiah Christopher Lee Walton-Davis, tragically killed on Tuesday, July 30, 2024 by gun violence and the ills of our oppressed society. He was affectionately known as Zay and to others as Spazzout Zxe.
​
Zay always exhibited the spirit of "Thus Come One." He possessed compassion, wisdom, love, and courage, the qualities of a humanistic individual and brought happiness and peace to so many lives he encountered.
​
We vow to carry on the traits of "Thus Come One" in honor of Isaiah Christopher Lee Walton-Davis.
​
Isaiah, A.K.A. Spazzout ZXE will be forever missed.
