Illinois Prevent Violence License Plate supports statewide anti-violence programs
 The Illinois Violence Prevention Authority (IVPA) is the first state agency of its kind dedicated to violence prevention in the United States. The Illinois Prevent Violence (PV) License Plate raises money to fund statewide anti-violence programs. The purple and white plates, which feature a universal symbol of peace-a soaring dove bearing an olive branch, have raised more than $2 million for violence prevention efforts in Illinois as of September 1998. More than 50,000 Illinois motorists display the plates on their vehicles. For more information, visit www.ivpa.org/plates.html .
