In the News...
The Star Tribune reported in July 2009 that homicides are significantly down in Minneapolis, noting the PEACE Foundation as one of the reasons. This success is due to everyone involved in our movement to end local violence! Click here to read the whole story!
North Minneapolis sees dramatic drop in violent crime; residents relieved but still determined from KARE 11.
The PEACE Foundation is creating a grassroots movement capable of harnessing the power of individuals, corporations, congregations, and organizations - across race, class and geography - toward the common goal of significantly reducing violence in isolated, local communities where pronounced disparities exist, starting in North Minneapolis.
While we work to support community-building efforts at the locations with the worst crime and violence, we will also attempt to obliterate the soci-economic isolation, systemic exploitation, racial disparities and regional apathy that breed the violence. We come together across all divides - black and white, young and old, rich and poor, urban and rural - to build relationships, strategize about public policy initiatives, find new solutions, and build community.
We need you to JOIN THE MOVEMENT! Here's what you can do next...
