Uniteee Violence and Incarceration Prevention
WHEN: July 26, 2025, 10AM-6PM
WHERE: Glen Helen Regional Park
Bring your hearts, your voices, and your commitment to this vital day – Our 7th annual "Peace In Our Streets" event!
Your presence will send a powerful message. It says we are not bystanders. It says we care deeply about our communities. It says we believe in a better way.
We share a common understanding: that the safety and well-being of our neighborhoods are not just aspirations, but necessities. We acknowledge the challenges – the cycles of violence that steal futures, the impact of incarceration that tears at the fabric of our families and communities. These are not abstract issues; they touch real lives, our lives.
We don't just focus on the problems. We amplify Our Vision.
Our Vision is every street is a pathway to opportunity, not a pipeline to prison. It’s a vision where the laughter of children playing safely drowns out the sirens. Where our young people see futures filled with promise, supported by mentors, education, and real chances to thrive. Where families feel safe, connected, and empowered. Where restorative justice and healing take precedence over simple retribution. Our vision is for vibrant neighborhoods where a helping hand is more common than a fist, and where understanding bridges divides.
This isn't a distant dream. This is a future we can build, brick by brick, conversation by conversation, action by action. And it starts with recognizing that these are Our Streets.
When we say Our Streets, we claim them. We claim responsibility for them. We claim the power to shape them. For too long, narratives of fear or neglect may have tried to define some of our neighborhoods. But we, the people who live here, work here, raise our families here – we know their true heart. We know their resilience, their vibrancy, their potential. "Our Streets" means that the solutions don't come to us, they come from us. From our collective wisdom, our shared experiences, and our united efforts. This event is driven as a testament to that power.
And what do we want for Our Streets? We want Our Peace.
Our Peace is more than just the absence of violence. It’s a living, breathing state of well-being. It’s justice. It's equity. It’s access to resources. It’s healthy minds and bodies. It’s strong family units and supportive community networks. It’s knowing your neighbors and working together. Our Peace is built when we prevent harm before it happens, when we intervene with compassion, when we restore what’s been broken, and when we create pathways to success for everyone, especially those most at risk.
"Peace In Our Streets" is where this vision, this ownership, and this active pursuit of peace come alive. Explore the collaborative resources. Engage in our workshops. Listen to the speakers and to each other. Share your stories. Connect with new allies. Let the music uplift you and the art inspire you.
Every conversation you have in our space, every connection you make, every bit of knowledge you gain is a seed planted for peace. Uniteee is here to nurture those seeds alongside you, today and every day.
So let's make this July 26th, 2025, a landmark day. A day where we not only imagine a peace but actively step into creating it. Let the hope and determination you feel right now fuel your actions long after this event concludes.
Because Our Vision is clear. Our Streets are our responsibility. And Our Peace is within our reach, because, TOGETHER WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE!!!.
Thank you. Let’s have an incredible, impactful day!"
