Event Information
Event Description
On September 29 – October 1, 2016 Mothers for Justice and Equality (MJE) will host its second annual Mothers Against Violence National Conference in Boston. The conference is the only national convening of mothers who have lost children to street violence, social justice change makers, corporate partners and civic leaders and is expected to welcome over 200 attendees from dozens of cities including Oakland, Chicago, New Haven, Ferguson and Baltimore.
During the three-day conference mothers from around the country share their successes, gain technical assistance from experts, and build an alliance to lead the change that is needed to end senseless street violence. Mothers for Justice and Equality strives to ensure that our audience is provided with the most current information so that they are able to bring it back to their own communities.
