This is what community response looks like.

After a one year old child was shot on Christmas Eve, Ceasefire stepped in immediately to support the family during an unimaginable moment. This video captures our emergency response shopping for the family and showing up with love action and care.

This violence has to stop. Our children deserve safety peace and protection. We will continue to stand in the gap serve families and push for change in our communities.

This is bigger than a moment. This is about accountability healing and saving lives.

A Message from Coach G Ward at Today’s Funeral for a 15-Year-Old.

Today, we gathered to mourn the loss of a bright young life taken too soon. We are losing far too many of our youth to a culture of violence that must be addressed. It’s time for all of us to take accountability for the safety and future of our community. I urge everyone, especially the men in our community, to step up and be leaders. We must work together to create a safer environment for our young people. Let’s commit to breaking this cycle of violence.
