Our Approach
The violent cycle of gangs and guns has hurt Black communities across generations. Our work is to counteract that trauma with powerful acts of healing, accountability, togetherness, and love.
Our approach is to counteract:
Poverty with financial opportunity.
Violence with accountability and intervention.
Trauma with healing, mentorship, and community support.
In these ways, we’re helping people, families and communities affected by gang violence reclaim and reimagine their lives.
