Today, Greensboro is responding—not with silence, but with action.

Following the recent mass shooting involving our young people, we refuse to let violence have the final word.

GREENSBORO STANDS TOGETHER: A Youth-Led Response to Gun Violence

This walk is being led by young people who are choosing courage over fear, hope over hopelessness, and unity over division. They are calling on our entire community to stand beside them as we honor those impacted, support survivors and families, and recommit ourselves to building a safer Greensboro.

📅 Monday, August 3, 2026
🕕 6:00 PM
📍 Meet: 501 W. Market St.
🏁 Walk to: Greensboro City Council, 110 S. Greene St.

Wear white as a symbol of peace, healing, and solidarity.

This is more than a walk. It is a declaration that our youth deserve to grow up free from the fear of gun violence. It is a reminder that meaningful change happens when communities stand together and young voices are heard.

We invite community leaders, educators, advocates, parents, faith leaders, organizations, and residents to join us in supporting our youth as they lead this response.

One City. One Voice. One Future.

Our city was on fire last night. A shooting at a teen party left multiple people injured. 💔

This has to stop. We shouldn’t be losing our youth to gun violence or living in fear every time we leave the house.

We choose peace. We choose unity. We choose to protect each other.

Check on your friends. Walk away from drama. Your life is worth more than proving a point.

Let’s be the generation that changes the story. 🕊️❤️

Healing is one of the bravest things you’ll ever do.

Not because it’s easy…
but because it asks you to keep living after life has broken your heart.

For too many families, healing begins at a hospital bed, a gravesite, or a candlelight vigil. It begins after the headlines fade and the cameras leave.

Healing doesn’t erase the loss.
It teaches us how to carry it without letting it carry us.

So today, check on the person who says they’re “fine.”
Hold your loved ones a little tighter.
Give yourself permission to rest.
Ask for help if you need it.

Healing is not weakness.
Healing is survival.
Healing is hope.
Healing is how we honor the people we love.

At DREAM, we believe healing happens in community. Through art. Through movement. Through conversation. Through radical care. Because no one should have to heal alone.

🕊️ Keep choosing healing, even on the days it feels impossible.

Violence prevention has never just been about stopping bullets for me.

It’s about creating enough hope that someone chooses a different path.

It’s about building spaces where our young people are seen before they’re sentenced, heard before they’re hardened, and loved before they’re lost.

DREAM was born from that belief.

I believe healing is violence prevention.
I believe art is violence prevention.
I believe community is violence prevention.
I believe honest conversations are violence prevention.

Every time we help someone process grief instead of carrying it alone…
Every time we choose restoration over retaliation…
Every time we remind someone that their life has value…

We interrupt violence before it ever reaches the streets.

This work isn’t easy. It asks us to sit with pain, hold space for healing, and keep believing in people on the days they can’t believe in themselves.

But I’ve learned that healing is contagious.

When one person heals, families begin to heal.
When families heal, communities begin to heal.
And when communities heal, violence loses its grip.

So we’ll keep dreaming.
We’ll keep showing up.
We’ll keep creating spaces where healing is louder than hurt.

Because prevention doesn’t begin with punishment.

It begins with hope.

07/07/2026

Some of us wear our scars where everyone can see them. Others carry them where no one ever will.

At the Margaret Clinard Outreach Foundation, we know violence doesn’t end when the sirens stop. It follows people home. It shows up in classrooms, relationships, neighborhoods, and even in the silence we carry.

That’s why we’re building something different.

This Violence Prevention Model Call isn’t about creating a photoshoot—it’s about creating a movement. We’re looking for people with lived experience. Survivors. Families. Advocates. Young people ready to rewrite the narrative. People willing to stand in truth so someone else can find hope.

And through The DREAM Project, we believe healing is resistance. Through art, music, movement, poetry, storytelling, and community, we create spaces where trauma doesn’t get the final word.

Because prevention and healing belong together.

If you’ve survived the battle…
If you’ve lost someone…
If you’ve ever wished someone had reached you sooner…

We need your voice.

Together, we aren’t just telling stories.
We’re interrupting cycles.
We’re reclaiming futures.
We’re proving that lived experience is one of the greatest tools for change.

Stand Up. Speak Out. Save Lives.

Healing is not forgetting.
Healing is remembering… and deciding pain does not get to write the ending.

Some of us carry grief in visible places.
Some of us carry it in silence.
Some of us carry names, anniversaries, unanswered questions, survivor’s guilt, empty seats, and stories we never asked to tell.

This month is not just about awareness.
It’s about witness.
It’s about prevention.
It’s about choosing each other while people are still here.

At DREAM, we believe healing is movement.
Healing is art.
Healing is breath.
Healing is community.
Healing is saying their names and still making room for joy.

Today I invite you to do one thing:
🧡 Light a candle
🧡 Write a name
🧡 Dance
🧡 Paint
🧡 Journal
🧡 Check on someone
🧡 Rest without guilt

Your healing does not dishonor your grief.
Your joy does not betray the people we lost.

We dream anyway.
We love anyway.
We create anyway.
We heal anyway.

🚨Long Needed Post!

Violence Prevention. Intervention. Healing.
Know your lane… and stay there.

One of the biggest mistakes we make in community work is expecting one program, one person, or one moment to do everything.

Truth is… there are 3 separate but connected lanes in this work:

🛑 Prevention → Stop violence before it starts.
This looks like youth engagement, education, opportunity, mentorship, arts, economic support, safe spaces, conflict resolution, changing conditions before harm happens.

🚨 Intervention → Interrupt violence while it’s happening or immediately after.
This looks like crisis response, street outreach, de-escalation, mediation, victim support, safety planning, hospital response, immediate stabilization.

💛 Healing → Help people live after violence.
This looks like therapy, movement, art, music, community, grief support, restoring identity, rebuilding trust, and creating spaces to breathe again.

None is more important than the other.
But each requires different tools, different people, different training, and different outcomes.

And this is where I’ll say something respectfully—

Know your lane. Stay there. Collaborate across lanes.

Prevention should not pretend to be intervention.
Intervention should not replace healing.
Healing should not carry the burden of stopping every act of violence.

When each lane does its job well… communities win.

At DREAM and MCOF, we believe healing is not an afterthought.
Healing is strategy.
Healing is public safety.
Healing is community sustainability.

🖤 Prevent.
🚨 Interrupt.
🌈 Heal.

Turn pain into power.

Lorraine Hansberry was the first Black woman to have a play produced on Broadway.
At just 29 years old, she debuted A Raisin in the Sun in 1959—changing American theater forever.

Her work centered Black family life not as spectacle, but as truth.
She wrote about deferred dreams, housing injustice, generational pressure, and love under strain—long before these conversations were welcome on mainstream stages.

Theater, for Hansberry, was not just performance.
It was witness.
It was resistance.
It was healing through honesty.
