#thenumbersmatter

Gun violence has erupted in the City of Boston, erasing promising teen lives and countless others. Domestic violence has been on the rise as well. These acts have called for community action with ALL FAITHS TOGETHER, and what better way than through the power of music! Join us at Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries as we bring together powerful voices of international & local choirs, musicians, and artists for an unforgettable evening. You will not want to miss this event! Tickets are going fast!!!

Domestic violence, gang, and gun violence are urgent, complex, and multifaceted community traumatic problems. Domestic violence against women has increased dramatically during the pandemic and beyond. In 2008, domestic violence was declared a public health emergency in Massachusetts and it has only gotten worse.

Nearly 1 in 3 Massachusetts women has experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner
In a single day, 1,795 victims were served by Massachusetts domestic violence programs
Between 2003 and 2012, 266 victims were murdered in intimate partner homicides, and 74 domestic violence homicide perpetrators were killed
The presence of a gun in the home during a domestic violence incident increases the risk of homicide by at least 500%
72% of all murder-suicides involved an intimate partner; 94% of the victims of these crimes are female

Join with us as the youth in our city say "NO MORE VIOLENCE!"
