We’re Bridging the Gap together against Trauma & Violence. 

South Suburban Peace Alliance labors to repel community violence in the south suburbs of Chicago, we have been based in Harvey IL, since 1998. through our Grassroots journey we've gotten more clarity and understanding of front line strategy for trauma and gun violence prevention,we must ask ourselves why is this out of control epidemic happening and especially in African-American neighborhoods? What can we do to stop it? Get involved, we must exercise preventative solutions at the local, state and national level because the expense of trauma & gun-violence in comparison to saving lives is astronomical something is wrong with this ratio. Help us build a healthy strong peace community that we can be safe and thrive in! for the well-being of all humanity.

Our Children and Communities are worth so much more they are worth fighting for we can attain healthy community safety together, with comprehensive safety action plans for our children,families,schools and neighborhoods, 

  Community healing starts here. With community engagement,crisis intervention, resilience is fueled by,community resources, programs comprehensive solutions, safety plans, we must prevent community trauma by investing in communities,we're moving forth in progression, consistency, community implementation of systems & policy,trauma care and victim support services. 

 Recognizing Gun violence as a severe public health issue is necessary!We must put a stop to the vicious onslaught of killings. Our children's blood is crying out from the ground. We hear the grief of families in America here in Chicago's south suburban region and throughout our country from California to Connecticut,it's a ripple effect. We are seeing a shift in people from all walks of life, in unison for gun violence prevention,
