Heal Charlotte's Stop the Violence Day

Overview

 This year Heal Charlotte is committed to bringing together community members and stakeholders to change the paradigm, and advocate for peace and prosperity. In order to make this happen, we will bring together a number of stakeholders from the community that have an invested interest in reducing crime and violence to put on a city-wide violence prevention event, which we are calling the STV ( Stop The Violence) Day .The vision for the event is a one day summit which will take place on June 26th and will combine elements of arts, culture, entertainment, and education to bring awareness to the issues and provide solutions for change. The art and training showcased throughout the STV Summit will begin grassroots conversations among community members and advocates that will carry the mission of the Summit into the rest of the year and beyond. We will partner with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, faith-based organizations, Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, Charlotte Mecklenburg Health Department, Moms Demand Action, BYE, the District Attorney’s office, government officials, and other grass root organizations committed to uplifting the mission of our event. The commitment of our community stakeholders and leaders is imperative to make this event a success.
