What We’re Doing
From silenceisviolence.org:
SilenceIsViolence is an anti-violence campaign
that was founded following the December 28 murder of Dinerral Shavers
and the January 4 murder of Helen Hill. Dinerral and Helen were beloved
friends, neighbors, and artists of the Bywater-Marigny district.
Following these tragedies, Ken Foster, Helen Gillet, and Baty Landis
decided to march to City Hall to express publicly our grief and our dismay
at the lack of city leadership on the issue of violent crime
The January 11 March For Survival was attended by 5,000 concerned
citizens, and SilenceIsViolence was founded. On that day, citizens from
all parts of the city had a chance to speak directly to our leaders and
each other about their fears and hopes.
Baty Landis presented Five Ideas For Change on behalf of SilenceIsViolence, opening
an anti-violence dialogue with our leadership and establishing the foundation
for the programs we currently sponsor.
Part of SilenceIsViolence's
outreach program is a free music clinic offered each Wednesday at
Sound Cafe for New Orleans children of all ages. The clinics, led by
local professional musicians, include both vocal and instrumental training.
As part of Threadheads.org's "Give
Back" philosophy, we have decided to raise money to sponsor "A
Day at Fest" for these students.
Join us in supporting the work of SilenceIsViolence by
encouraging the continued growth of the New Orleans music culture and inspiring
the younger generation to keep the music alive.
