AN ENTIRE MONTH WITHOUT A HOMICIDE. ππ½π§‘
In the middle of summer: when violence historically increases: our community experienced an entire month without one homicide. This is unheard of, and the work of our CVI outreach team, Peacekeepers, and the entire G.O.D. family played a major role.
This is what happens when communities are given the resources to protect and heal themselves.
As a gun violence survivor, this means more to me than words can express. I know the pain of loss. Every day without a homicide means another mother received a phone call from her child instead of the call that changes a family forever.
This is Pitaβs Promise for Peace in motion. ποΈ
To every outreach worker, Peacekeeper, and community member who showed up: this victory belongs to all of us.
As our slogan says: βWe Win When we Invest In Eachother.β
The work isn't over, but today we celebrate proof that community violence intervention works. Investment works. Healing works. Love works.
Great work, G.O.D. team. Lives are being saved, families protected, and Pitaβs promise is alive. π§‘ππ½
