ABOUT SAVN

SAVN Mission

To ignite a nationwide anti-violence movement. 

ABOUT SAVN, INC.

Stop All Violence Now, Inc. hopes to ignite a nationwide anti-violence movement.  Our effort began with an intense discussion between caring individuals of different races, backgrounds and walks of life. Our group consists of law enforcement, mental health clinicians, veterans, church leaders and social media activists.  All of us expressed a shared concern about the mounting violence in our communities.  We began to meet on a regular basis and learned that there are thousands of anti-violence programs and initiatives going on across America.  Yet, in spite of winning small battles, we are losing the war. The question- what can be done- resonated with us.  There are no sideline seats.  This is an all hands on deck emergency.  Like any war, everyone is involved and everyone is victimized- even the perpetrators are destroyed by their own behavior. 

SAVN Vision

Unifying persons of good will, families, communities, organizations and agencies with faith based, medical and law enforcement entities- all working together as “one team-one goal” to end all forms of violence, where ever we find it.

SAVN Values

SAVN encourages unconditional love, accountability, understanding and compassion toward all of humanity.

Remember: There is only one race, the human race!

SAVN Goal

Create one unified effort to surge anti-violence messages, marches, mental health, and legal interventions across urban, suburban, and rural areas of America.

Thereby joining all races and ethnicities in one effort to stem the tide of violence threatening to overwhelm our nation. 

Our struggle will be against every form of violence to include personal (suicide, domestic) and public (mass shooting, war, criminal) acts intended to harm or kill.
