Mothers of fallen Black children are seldom given the platform to speak up and address the crisis of Black homicide.

THIS ENDS NOW

Voices of Black Mothers United empowers Black mothers, family members, and community partners to voice their opinions and to heal our communities.

Voices of Black Mothers United is a project of the Woodson Center, a neighborhood development and innovation non-profit that supports leaders and community members to tackle our nation’s toughest problems.

Voices of Black Mothers United unifies Black mothers, fathers, and youth (siblings), and faith leaders to work together to end violence in our communities.
