If you missed the September edition of our monthly radio show, Let’s Talk: EEEEzing Into Change, on September 7th, we focused on NDRMV. The loss of life by violence in our communities continues to affect us all. Clema S. Lewis, our executive director, and Sheelene Gumbs, our crisis counselor, talked about dealing with grief, support for survivors and how we can heal as individuals and  communities. Visit our NDRMV.VI Facebook page to view the livestream.

Your participation will support peace and healing. Proceeds will benefit WCSC’s advocacy, programs and services for people impacted by violence.
