S/V Programs

Peace Clinics: It is the underlying belief of the SilenceIsViolence Peace Clinics that creative expression, positively channeled and nurtured, forms a direct counter to violent expression.

Victim Allies Project (VAP): The Victim Allies Project supports family members of homicide victims through the emotional, logistical, and judicial hurdles they may face following their loss. VAP also offers group and individual grief support services to those impacted by trauma related to violent crime.

Peace Walks: Community-led evening strolls through our neighborhoods intended to nurture connections among neighborhoods, establish a positive, anti-violence presence on our streets, and to bring new faces to businesses around the city.

Silence is Violence

The mission of SilenceisViolence is to call upon both citizens and public officials to achieve a safe New Orleans across all communities. We engage youth in positive expression and actions to counter the culture of violence. We demand respect for every life, and justice for every citizen in our city.
