Rooted in the streets and powered by love, we bring people together to stop the violence, increase the peace, and uplift our communities across Southern California.
Founded in 1993, the Stop the Violence Increase the Peace Foundation addresses the root causes of violence in Southern California — promoting awareness, empowerment, and accountability around the impacts of violence and trauma.
Through strong community partnerships we offer youth intervention, conflict resolution, counseling, advocacy, and life-skills training that drives lasting change.
"Every number represents a life touched, a family supported, and a community made stronger."
— Khalid Shah, Founder & Chairman Emeritus
