HEALING THROUGH PAIN will be a day-long event that honors 25 parents and 25 siblings of victims of violence. We share food, performances, speeches, art - in the memory of those we lost. At the end we leave knowing that there is a community of people who understand our pain and stand with us. Through this we gain the strength to be proactive in our personal lives and in our communities instead of resigned to the unfairness that has marked our lives.
Our Gun Violence Awareness Day will feature keynote speeches, educational workshops, and remembrance activities. This event will provide valuable information and actionable insights on how to prevent gun violence, support victims, and engage in effective community activism.
Please sign up to attend, but even if you can't be there in person, please upload a picture of your loved one(s) and share your story with us, about how you and your family and community have been affected by violence. Allow us to share your burden and help you heal through this sharing. Event will be July 14, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Photos will be required by June 20,2024 at 12pm.
