Stop The Violence Initiative
Cathelean Steele, Director
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference(SCLC) has launched in Atlanta, the Southeast region of the nation, and in the United States of America a “stop the violence initiative”. The outcomes of this SCLC initiative are to address sex trafficking and street violence. The two strategies for accomplishing the initiative are “justice for girls” and “streetpeace”.
“Justice for girls” impacts the outcome of sex-trafficking. “Streetpeace” impacts the outcome of urban violence.
SCLC’s “stop the violence initiative” will develop both a public safety model as well as a community health model to be applied toward both “justice for girls” and “streetpeace”. This scope of work will empower public policy leaders and stakeholders of direct action participation.
Public policy leadership capacity-building for neighborhood, community, faith and small business leaders will take place through the four cornerstones of round table discussions, development sessions, symposiums, and conferences. The intention of the capacity-building is to strengthen leaders’ abilities to participate in the decision-making processes of public safety committees, councils, commissions, and boards.
Direct action participation will take place through various mass march events, to include the 50th anniversary march commemorating the March to Washington, D.C. where Dr. King delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech. The intention of the direct action participation is to focus media and public attention on the issues of sex-trafficking and street violence, and thus create national public awareness.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference seeks to build a developmental collaborative with corporate philanthropic foundations and governmental organizations around the nation to fulfill on the mission of the “stop the violence initiative”.
