OUR IMPACT

We promote justice through community response to violence and provide support to victims of violence.
Individuals we serve are historically part of the underserved community and lack access to an equitable criminal justice system, economic resources, mental health resources, hospital support, and educational tools.
OUR GOALS
We strive to be the voice of hope providing direct services to victims by:
- Providing compassion and support for families
- Decreasing gun violence and retaliation through prevention and intervention
- Providing direct support to victims of crime and violence
- Engaging youth through specialized educational development programs
- Unifying the community through outreach events, advocacy, and collaborative activities
