The time is NOW to stand up against violence.

WHO WE ARE

SAVN, INC.

Stop All Violence Now (SAVN), Inc. began with the idea of uniting all persons of good will to stand against the violence mounting in all American communities. Gun violence, mass killings, domestic and child abuse, as well as suicide rates are rising throughout our nation.  Each of us must decide as individuals, families and communities, what we can do to stem the tsunami that threatens to overwhelm and destroy our safety and freedom in America.  

SAVN strives to unite all anti-violence efforts and resources into a comprehensive initiative.  By developing platforms for sharing dialogue, programs, public service messages and information on prayer vigils, marches and truce periods we can create a cohesive movement and launch a powerful call for an end to all violence now.

There are more of us (peacemakers) than there are of them (hate-makers)!

Our Approach

  • -Promote non-violent solutions; prayer vigils, marches, social media messages, "challenges" and discussions

  • -Establish places of worship as sacred ground where survivors and offenders can seek respite and help during truce times

  • -Help clinicians and law enforcement officers form action teams and refer survivors and those offending to resources and programs

  • -Create educational and training opportunities which improve financial stability and thus reduce violence

Live Without Guns

Many people believe that having a gun will save them from some violent offender.  However research shows that having a gun in your home increases the risk by 200% that someone in your home will die by gun violence. Even more frightening, the risk that someone in your home will kill themselves with that gun is increased by 400%. Individuals who carry guns are more likely to use them when other options are available.
