NEW: #Peace4DC Year End Impact Report: peacefordc.org/2024-year-end-… Thanks to our incredible donors & partners we’ve made significant strides. Together, we’ve built a stronger, more connected community where individuals can overcome adversity and reach their full potential.

Sending season's greetings and holiday cheer to you and your loved ones from the Peace For DC Team! May the holidays be filled with joy and peace. And may the New Year begin with a renewed commitment to partnership and peacebuilding.

New Years Day was Tom Marmet’s birthday. He should be turning 29, but instead, because of his tragic death in 2018, we work to honor his life by resolving to do more to end community violence in DC. Click here to learn more: peacefordc.org/so/08PGSq0Qt?l…

Thank you to Jovan LoveMoreBrand Ware for speaking at #DCPeaceAcademy today on how to navigate social media to reduce violence & other words of wisdom such as: “Exposure leads to Expansion” = expose your participants to a wide range of ideas to expand their minds.🔥

#CollaborationIsKey🔑 #DCPeaceAcademy is one of the ONLY spaces where DC’s frontline violence intervention workers (who work in govt, hospitals & various community orgs) come together to coordinate. Building teamwork leads to increased alignment & greater outcomes in the field.
