  4. Our Movement • organic • Of, relating to, or derived from living organisms • Resembling a living organism in organization or development; interconnected: society as an organic whole.

  5. Movement Elements Education Aware Awake Alive works with parents and educators throughout the United States to educate young people on the symptoms of alcohol poisoning, create awareness on the conditions that enable it, and encourage responsibility for one another in situations where alcohol is consumed. Awareness and Dialogue We support and encourage ongoing dialogue around both needed and established laws or policies designed to eliminate coercive alcohol consumption and provide limited immunity for anyone seeking medical treatment for a victim of alcohol overdose. Partnership Aware Awake Alive is driven by a core belief and philosophy that lives can and will be saved simply by working together. We aim to partner with like-minded individuals and organizations while encouraging an atmosphere of shared responsibility among young people, their peers, parents, and educators.
