Live Free USA - A Case Study in Hope: Lessons from Oakland's Remarkable Reduction in Gun Violence

About This Project

Summary

Live Free is a national organization and peacemaking movement dedicated to ending gun violence and the mass incarceration and criminalization of our communities. Since 2011, we have been building a network of thousands of faith leaders, directly impacted leaders, and movement partners working to bring peace and healing to our cities.

Goals & Objectives

Live Free USA works to bring peace to our communities by supporting the implementation of community violence intervention (CVI) strategies which have a long track record of dramatically reducing violence in cities throughout the country. Their work is fueled by education, advocacy and investments.
