New Heroes Campaign Celebrating Community Violence Intervention Program Leaders – Amnesty International USA

Share Share Just days before Wear Orange Weekend 2021, Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) today announced the launch of the Heroes Campaign, a national advocacy effort to secure critical federal funding for community violence intervention programs. The campaign is AIUSA’s latest effort to bring attention to and to end gun violence that disproportionately affects Black and brown communities throughout the country.  The campaign kicks off with a virtual  live panel discussion at 7:00 PM EST and features six leaders from grassroots violence prevention groups, “heroes” who work tirelessly on the front lines to save lives in their communities. These heroes will discuss how local organizations’ leaders continue to fight the erasure of Black and brown youth from the national conversation, and how proper funding from lawmakers can help curb violence in the most affected communities.
