We’re raising funds for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute, a center for healing, teaching, and learning for families and communities impacted by homicide, trauma, and grief.
From November 20 to December 20, we recognize National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month in Massachusetts — a time to honor the voices and experiences of those grieving the loss of a loved one, recognize the generational impact of this trauma, and commit to ensuring that survivors’ needs are met and healing is centered.
In the wake of recent gun violence in Boston and across the country, raising awareness of survivor needs and investing in trauma care is more important than ever.
The Louis D. Brown Peace Institute has remained a constant pillar in our community to respond to the hurt and pain with compassion and care, and serves as an integral partner to the City of Boston and other cities across the country in transforming society’s response to homicide.
In honor of Giving Tuesday, if you’re able, will you pitch in $3 — or whatever you can — to join our team in raising funds for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and their work to provide relief and support to survivors of homicide victims? 100% of your contribution will go directly to this critical organization.

The trauma of losing a loved one to gun violence is a permanent heartbreak, and in the absence of structural support and attention, folks and entire communities are left to heal from this immense trauma alone – a burden that too often and disproportionately falls on Black and brown communities.
Creating and fostering pathways to healing is survivor justice. If you can, please join us in making a donation to the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute to help families and loved ones find peace and healing after unimaginable loss.
In solidarity,
Ayanna
