Dear Friends,

Day after day, we hear story after heartbreaking story of tragic violence and senseless injustice in our local and national news media. We are sometimes appalled by the most tragic of stories. But even in the worst, our personal lives typically remain unfazed until violence touches us or someone we love. We become almost oblivious to violence and injustice because we hear it so often that we minimize the devastating effects to the unknown victims and their families. But when it happens to us…to someone we love, our lives are dramatically changed. We look at life and injustice from a different perspective. We shouldn’t wait until those tragic circumstances become our own before we raise our voice against injustice.
On August 27, 2011 Mission Abilene will be hosting the 4th Annual Stop the Violence Rally. The family-friendly event shines a light on violence and crime within our city and raises awareness to the many tragic and widespread consequences of violence. We seek to make a difference by using our voices to give a voice to others as we invite all to take a stand against injustice. The Rally will be a filled with well-known speakers and music artists who will share their testimonies and experiences as they use their talents to bring awareness to the dangers of violence and abuse. There will be a variety of children’s activities and many local non-profit organizations will be on hand with information about their services. We will reach out with love and hope to victims and their families as we remember their loved ones’ lives that were taken or dramatically changed due to violence. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Regional Crime Victims Crisis Center.
