HOW IT ALL BEGAN ?

In the Fall of 2016 two protesters, Greg Jackson and Antuan Smith banned together during the unfortunate Charlotte riots in pursuit of justice and founded the Charlotte Community Coalition. Although Antuan and Greg valiantly pursued justice what they inevitably discovered was passion, purpose and destined placement in serving the communities of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Through much support, mentors and partners the Charlotte Community Coalition found it's niche and honed in to advancing communities, impacting youth and partnering law enforcement, city officials and civic services to advance the communities of Charlotte. This new found calling centered around one goal and that was to heal the heart beat of Charlotte, it's communities and the future of the city, the youth.

STOP THE VIOLENCE DAY

Saturday 26th JUNE 2021 (10am - 5pm)

Dear fellow community partners, In the year of 2020, there were 120 homicide events in Charlotte, North Carolina, leaving family members, loved ones, and our communities heartbroken and in need of urgent action. A disproportionate number of homicide victims and perpetrators were Black males between the ages of 18 and 24 years old.

The homicide rate in Charlotte last year was twice the rate from 2018, a significant spike in violence that has not been seen here since 1993. The trauma that many of our communities have experienced due to these devastating events has sparked the need for change and healing. In response to this trauma, Heal Charlotte will work diligently to create community change through participatory and trauma-informed approaches that promote community and youth engagement, leadership development, improved governance, and capacity building all centered around the topic of gun violence prevention.
