Violence is a critical public health issue for our local communities and we invite you to be part of the solution. The Harvard Longwood community and their family, friends and colleagues are invited to join the 27th annual Louis D. Brown Peace Institute’s Mother’s Day Walk for Peace. The 4.3-mile walk will raise visibility on the issue and generate much needed support for the important work of the Peace Institute in their goal to empower survivors and communities impacted by murder, trauma and grief and loss and to cultivate cycles of peace. The Peace Institute was founded by a mother who lost her son to violence and was committed to support for loved ones and to create strategies to end violence in the community.
