our story

We Provide Community Awareness For Gun Violence

Stop the Violence 757 was started after Monica Atkins lost her 25-year-old son to gun violence in 2014 while driving home with his girlfriend and brother in a drive-by.

The focus of Stop the Violence is to continue to share awareness about gun violence and to be the voice for parents that have been voiceless from such hurt.

Stop the Violence757 is a non-profit 501C3 organization whose mission is to spread awareness and educate the community about the senseless acts of violence plaguing our community.

At Stop The Violence 757, we are deeply committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We recognize that systemic inequality is a root cause of community violence, and we intentionally prioritize the voices and experiences of historically marginalized populations. Our programs are designed to create safe, affirming spaces for youth and families across racial, cultural, gender, and socioeconomic identities. We are dedicated to inclusive hiring, culturally responsive practices, and building coalitions that reflect the diversity of the South Hampton Roads communities we serve. This commitment guides our mission and ensures that equity is at the center of our organizational decisions and outcomes.
