MISSION STATEMENT
To build infrastructure in our communities, where violence is not an option.
Mothers Against Community Gun Violence (MACGV)
strives to fight community gun violence by promoting leadership, education for at-risk children and their families, and supportive services to help families affected by and living with the loss of a loved one through homicide.
We work to preserve the lives of our at-risk youth by showing them alternative routes. We tackle the root cause of community gun violence and create opportunities for education and professional growth to foster economic development.
Our organization is managed by mothers who have lost their children to community gun violence and supported by concerned individuals. Despite the loss and pain of our loved ones, MACGV is committed to mending broken hearts by advocating for communities of color and increasing positive alternatives for life - rather than a path that may take a person's life.
