Our Mission

We fight the urge to close down and instead open ourselves to the community.

While violence chose us without notice, we consciously choose to band together and turn our profound and collective pain into a sense of purpose to prevent future violence.

Our Plan

Our intent is to move the public conversation from the sensational "what" happened to a more productive "how" the community can actively care.

By convening a community conversation, we hope to direct resources and attention productively towards solutions.
