If it is not too late to change, you misspelled "STOPING" (STOPPING), and technically "WHATS" should be WHAT'S."
On the Graphic Design:
BACKGROUND: I like the background concept, then fitting your message and copyright into it and making it standout by using black and red. I think I would have considered making the background text a little bigger, but having said that I would try it, stand back and look, and maybe go back to smaller.
Smaller looks better, but bigger means more people will read the standout text.
COLOR PALETTE: I like your color palette—earth and blood.
GRAPHIC ELEMENTS: The graphic is certainly attention grabbing, plus it has interesting detail to hook some people into looking even closer, like how the white part of the design overlaps the background text, the sinuous spirograph running through it, the single line drawings.
BALANCE: This piece is well balanced for space, weight, color and text.
FONTS: Font choices are really good. Typically, it is not thought wise to mix a number of different fonts. However, there are numerous reasons for exceptions, especially if it is a major part of the overall design. So I think is was a really design choice to use multiple font faces.
FAVORITE PART: One of my favorite parts of the design is how you overlapped two font faces for "DAY" and "of." It was a very creative element.
CONCLUSION: My professional opinion is that this is a EXCELLENT Graphic Design. Congratulations!
But for goodness sake, spellcheck and edit your work before submission. In a production setting, it would be a really big deal.

Great job on the flyer! only problem is that it says "What are going to do to end the silence?" and I think you are missing "you" between "are" and "going".
Anyways great job, I support this completely
