How do you reach young people with an urgent, life-saving message… without sounding like just another PSA?
You make a song they’ll actually want to hear.
Our team and LifeBridge Health teamed up with Grammy-nominated artist Logic, who is also a Maryland native personally affected by gun violence, to co-create “Pipeline,” a hard-hitting hip-hop track confronting the crisis of illegal gun trafficking in the U.S.
At the center of the campaign is a cinematic music video shot across multiple states, tracing a trafficker’s real-life route up I-95 from Georgia to Maryland. Along the way, we watch him sell illegal firearms from the trunk of his car, culminating in a final sale to a teenage boy.
As Logic’s lyrics fade, the music gives way to a chilling message: “Guns are the #1 cause of death for kids.” Viewers are directed to StopTheIronPipeline.org to demand legislative action from state leaders.
The campaign’s impact went beyond awareness. Maryland Senator Will Smith drafted a first-of-its-kind gun trafficking bill (SB 443) in direct response. Governor Wes Moore soon announced a lawsuit against Glock—citing the need for accountability in illegal sales.
Backed by Resonate Baltimore’s youth chorus, “Pipeline” is a battle cry for a generation fed up with violence and ready to fight for change. This is what it looks like when a music video drives legislation.
