Happy Birthday, Tupac. 🧡

As part of Gun Violence Awareness Month, LIFE Camp joined elected officials, community leaders, violence prevention organizations, and the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation for a special evening in the New York City Council Chambers to celebrate the life, legacy, and impact of Tupac Shakur.

Inspired by the vision of our Founder & CEO, Erica Ford, this gathering honored Tupac’s contributions to community, peace, and social justice while recognizing individuals and organizations working every day to reduce violence and create opportunities across New York City.

A special thank you to Deputy Speaker Dr. Nantasha Williams, the New York City Council, and all of the elected officials who helped make this important recognition possible. We are also grateful to the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation and the Shakur family, whose presence made the evening especially meaningful.

Congratulations to all of the honorees, performers, speakers, and community leaders recognized throughout the program, including King of Kings Foundation, Dr. Shneaqua “Coco” Stanley, and Both Sides of the Gun, BIVO, Maximillian Dor, Carolyn Dixon, and Where Do We Go From Here?, Ranti Ogunleye, SAVE, and the many organizations doing the work every day to build safer communities.

Thank you to all CMS organizations, violence interrupters, outreach workers, advocates, and community members committed to peace and healing. Special thanks to DJ TamJams, the official LIFE Camp DJ, for keeping the energy alive throughout the evening.

Happy Birthday, Tupac. Your legacy continues to inspire action, healing, and hope.

Peace Is A Lifestyle.

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, and this kickoff event was a powerful reminder of what our community looks like.

Restoration Plaza was filled with people committed to change. Survivors shared their stories with courage, families connected, resources were available, and the day reflected hope, healing, and unity.

The sea of orange was more than awareness. It represented a commitment to safer communities and support for those impacted by violence.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared, and helped make this kickoff meaningful. The work continues, but this was a strong way to begin the month. 🧡

June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month.

Across New York City, we will come together to raise awareness, share resources, and strengthen the work being done every day to keep our communities safe.

The New York City Crisis Management System () is a network of organizations and individuals working to prevent violence, support those affected by it, and create pathways to healing, hope, and opportunity. Our shared goal is simple: no shootings, no lives lost, and stronger communities.

On June 2 (Tomorrow), organizations and individuals from across the city and beyond will gather at Brooklyn Restoration Plaza to raise awareness, connect residents with resources, and highlight the work happening every day in neighborhoods throughout New York City.

This is not just a press conference. It’s an opportunity to learn, connect, and better understand why this work matters.

Whether you’re directly connected to this work or care about the future of our communities, we invite you to join us.

June 2, 2026
Brooklyn Restoration Plaza
1368 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Hope. Healing. Community Power.

“Attending the 2nd Annual Latine Convening on Gun Violence was both powerful and deeply personal for me. As a proud Black Latina and Executive Director of LIFE Camp Inc., it meant so much to stand in a space committed to healing, prevention, and community-driven change alongside leaders from across the country.

These conversations are necessary. They remind us that representation matters, lived experiences matter, and real solutions happen when we bring every part of who we are into the work.

Gun violence impacts our communities in deeply personal ways, and gatherings like this create space for truth, collaboration, culture, and collective healing. I’m grateful to continue building bridges between communities, uplifting voices that deserve to be heard, and leading with both purpose and love.”
