Peacemaker Summit - November 2020
In November, P2P participated in Peace Walks DC’s “DC Peacemaker Summit”. Peace Walks DC is a community of gun violence survivors, organizations, and activists that work together to end gun violence and state violence in the D.C. Metropolitan area.
This year’s summit focused on building community-centered solutions to end gun violence and creating building blocks for community care and healing. In a span of three days, they hosted two virtual panel discussions and a solidarity peace walk to end gun violence. Twelfth graders and core leaders with P2P, Saudia and Jamiah, represented TMA well as they advocated for youth and shared their ideas for change on various panels.
“If your safety was being threatened when you were walking to work, or inside of work, you would do something to make sure you would be safe. And that’s what we’re doing.”
