November 20 - December 20 marks Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month.
Every year in the United States, more than 13,000 homicides steal the lives of brothers, sisters, children, parents, family members, and loved ones, resulting in more than 130,000 new survivors of homicide victims annually.
Homicide creates trauma for individuals and entire communities and, too often, survivors are overlooked; Black, Latinx, and Indigenous survivors are disproportionately left with little access to support services.
So today, in honor of Giving Tuesday, we’re raising funds for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute, a center for healing, teaching, and learning for families and communities impacted by homicide, trauma, and grief.
The pain of a traumatic experience — like the sudden and violent loss of a loved one — doesn’t go away. That pain lives within individuals and in our communities for generations.
That’s why Ayanna is so fiercely committed to working for justice and healing for every person — in the Massachusetts 7th and beyond.
Ayanna has introduced legislation to provide better, more comprehensive support to children experiencing trauma, and led efforts to provide mental health resources to survivors of natural disasters and mass violence.
Today, we’re asking for your help — deep healing requires all of us. Through your support today, you can help family members and loved ones find healing after homicide.
If you can afford to, please make a contribution to the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute today.
Thank you for everything that you’re doing to support our communities.
— The A-Team
