#FundPeacemakers

“The Los Angeles Violence Intervention Coalition is calling on the City of Los Angeles to invest $150 million, and Los Angeles County to invest $250 million, for a total of $400 million of American Rescue Plan funds over three years. This investment will expand the capacity of peacemakers to improve safety, community wellbeing, and trust within communities of color. It will also bolster workforce development opportunities for formerly incarcerated and justice impacted individuals who act as credible messengers to reduce violence in vulnerable neighborhoods.”

Our program director Claudia and Venice community member Pam Anderson! Repost @urbanpeaceinstitute: Thank you Supervisors @hildasolis @supjanicehahn @hollyjmitchell @supervisorkathrynbarger for successfully advocating to invest $11.3M to #FundPeacemakers and community based organizations working to reduce violence. We appreciate your support to #endgunviolence in LA County. We hope to see greater investments through American Rescue Plan funds soon! And shoutout to the Los Angeles Violence Intervention Coalition for tirelessly promoting safety and peace in their communities and advocating for more funding!
Sometimes Ebay just cracks us up 😂 #dropngo
Repost @urbanpeaceinstitute: Violence intervention workers are simply spread too thin. We urge LA City and County to #FundPeacemakers with a $400M investment in community-based solutions, like @helperfoundation_. Together, we can save lives and create safety for Black and Brown communities. @helperfoundation_ delivers yummy meals donated from @goodeatsorg and flowers to members in the community. Community intervention and prevention workers are ESSENTIAL! We urge the Board of Supervisors and Council members to support community-based safety approaches. @sheilakuehl @supjanicehahn @hollyjmitchell @supervisorkathrynbarger #community #losangelescommunity #reimaginepublicsafety #change #justice #losangeles #la #venice #communitysupport #unity #communitylove #communitytransformation
