Generation Action: Millennial and Gen-Z Philadelphians Lead the Way Forward on Anti-Violence Efforts during Gun Violence Awareness Month

Posted by Mayor's Office of Youth Engagement on July 18, 2023

As our nation and city grapple with violence, young Philadelphians continue to be the light that shines, illuminating a way forward with their innovative ideas, hope in each other and the future, and faith that the status quo can and will change if everyone does their part.

In honor of Gun Violence Awareness Month this past June and in an effort to create safe, healing, and joyous spaces for young Philadelphians, the Mayor’s Office of Youth Engagement (OYE) and the Office of Black Male Engagement (OBME) worked together with community leaders and partners on several anti-violence initiatives.

Check out all the highlights from our Gun Violence Awareness Month actions and find out how you can participate.
