Stand Up for Peace is a coordinated effort to stop the cycle of violence. Peace is possible. With peace comes opportunity.

WE ARE STAND UP FOR PEACE
Stand Up for Peace is a coordinated effort to stop the cycle of violence. We work to understand its root causes, provide support to those who have been impacted by it, and help those at-risk for engaging in violent acts stay safe, alive, and free. VIOLENCE AFFECTS EVERYONE
Violence is more than a story on the news — it’s something that affects us all. PEACE IS POSSIBLE
Everyone deserves safety, health and happiness, no matter what street they live on. When you spread peace, you spread hope, prosperity, and happiness. Peace is the only thing that can stop the cycle of retaliation. EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN PREVENTING VIOLENCE
Silence enables violence. But by speaking up, you can push for meaningful change, support people impacted by violence and empower others to take action themselves. Join Stand Up for Peace in delivering our message against continued violence in our community! It’s up to all of us to reduce the violence in our community. There’s more than one way to Stand Up for Peace. Whether you choose to volunteer, attend an event, or spread the word on social media — your contributions will make our effort stronger.

When Malcolm first enrolled in Stand Up for Peace, he was experiencing homelessness and facing significant challenges.

Throughout his journey, Malcolm made positive changes in his life. He intentionally changed the people he surrounded himself with and made healthier choices that supported his goals and responsibilities as a father. Malcolm remained focused on providing a safe, stable and better life for his children.

Way to go, Malcolm!

Last month, our Group Violence Intervention team performed 7 successful Custom Notifications to communicate that violence will not be tolerated in school or the community to individuals at high risk for group involvement. By starting important conversations about choosing peace, we are working to build safer communities.

Last month, employment, housing and transportation were the biggest hurdles our clients faced. By addressing these major concerns, we can help build stronger, safer communities.

Recently, when middle school students became involved in a conflict, we brought together the involved groups to mediate conversation and prevent further involvement. One way we help young people choose peace is by starting important conversations and showing alternatives to violence.
