Love is
an Action Word
There’s hope beyond the gang life. We’re gang veterans. We support gang-impacted families and communities to choose love over violence, now and for their lifetime.
What We Do
-
Interpersonal Development and Careers
Growing up with gangs in our families and communities, we know the pull is strong. We counter this pull with love, accountability and wraparound support. As gang veterans who’ve reimagined our lives, we help others build a life beyond the streets.
-
Community-wide healing
We give love where love is needed most. We reclaim places where violence has happened and bring divided communities together, providing a path toward healing for the people most likely to commit violence.
-
Positive Influencers
We are positive influencers trained to mediate and help de-escalate conflicts at the root cause, preventing them from committing violence and disrupting cycles of violence. With eyes on the street, we are the prime conflict solutions before it’s too late and support better decision-making for everyone involved.
