Black Women for Positive Change announces the Eighth Annual Week of Positive Change, Non-Violence and Opportunities, October 12-20, 2019, in cities across the United States and the United Kingdom. Dr. Stephanie Myers and Daun S. Hester, National Co-Chairs, of Black Women for Positive Change said in a joint statement, “Each city and community must stop the crisis of violence affecting our youth, families, communities, cities and our nation. But, first we must ‘Change the Culture of Violence’ among men, women, Millennials, teenagers, children, law enforcement officers and street gangs. In today’s society, people have come to believe that violence is normal-and it is not!

We call on organizations, schools, faith institutions, Elected Officials and everyone to organize non-violence activities, to stop violence in their communities”
