Who We Are
oncerned and outraged about the growing pandemic of violence plaguing Black and Brown neighborhoods, The NAVC became a broad coalition of Activists, Teachers, Principals, Lawyers, Revolutionary Members of the Blood and Crips, Social Workers, Progressives, Members of Churches and Masjids (Mosques), Community-based Organizations, Victims of Violence, Aunts, Uncles, Mothers, Brothers, Sisters, Fathers, and Concerned Citizens of the Community! July 20th 2009 made the call to begin a Social Justice Movement to help people who have been victimized.
Our mission is to confront violence as a public health crisis and to diminish and prevent the spread of senseless violence in underserved, marginalized, and at-risk communities through the provision of support, education, advocacy, and mediation.
