#Violence Is Not Normal
we can prevent it.
Gun violence is an urgent public health issue.
In Massachusetts, guns are responsible for three out of four youth homicides.
Violence-free communities are healthy communities.
That’s why we want to help Worcester youth avoid violent conflict.
There’s a role for everyone in this campaign.

Violence Is Not Normal is funded through the Massachusetts Gun Violence Prevention Program, which works with grantees in 15 communities across the Commonwealth to help youth avoid violent conflict and injury. Through a racial equity and trauma-informed lens, funded partners provide critical supports, such as close connections with trustworthy adults, opportunities to learn new skills, and access to the job market.
