Join us Healing ❤️‍🩹 Response 1pm Another mass shooting. Another wave of heartbreak. Another reminder that we must do more. On Monday evening, five lives were taken in Midtown Manhattan—including an NYPD officer and the 27-year-old gunman. Families shattered. A city grieving. 🕊️ The New York City Crisis Management System (CMS) stands united in this moment of tragedy—not just in mourning, but in action. We know violence is preventable. We’ve seen it firsthand. In some NYC neighborhoods, we’ve gone over 1,000 days without a single shooting. How? By showing up before the bullet. By healing trauma. By building trust. By investing in peace. We’re calling on our city, our federal government, and our communities to stand together: • To interrupt violence • To invest in healing • To make peace real 📍 Join us today for a press conference and healing response: 🗓️ Tuesday, July 30, 2025 🕧 12:30pm Gathering | 1:00 PM Start 📍 Seagram Plaza, 373 Park Avenue (Park & 53rd Street), NYC This is not politics. This is about saving lives. Let’s make peace possible. Let’s make peace real—on every block, in every borough, for every soul. #NYCCrisisManagement #StopTheViolence #FundPeace #communityviolenceintervention #PublicSafety #CredibleMessengers #PeaceIsTheMission #HealingJustice #WeAreNYC #NYCCMS #StrongerTogether #allin4peace #OneCityOneMission #MakePeaceReal

Stop being the bad thing in someone’s life. Stop adding more weight to people’s plates when you know they’re already carrying too much. Stop being a fraud friend🙅🏾acting kind while killing them softly with your silence, your judgment, your unhealed trauma. Get help. Heal. Stop spreading your pain like it’s love. Heal yourself. Take care of your life, your health, your wealth💰because peace is wealth. Love is wealth. Be a REAL friend. Look into people’s souls. See what’s really going on in their lives. There’s too much hurt walking around dressed up like it’s okay. STOP. PAY ATTENTION. To the people in front of you. To yourself. To what you’re adding—or subtracting—from this world. Don’t be a deficit in someone’s life. Be an asset. Be a light. Be the reason someone didn’t give up. Stop letting it be okay for people to talk negatively to you about your “friend” Look your children/friend/family in the eyes. See their pain. Help them heal. Be present—not from where you are, but from where they are. Lead with real love. Authentic love. Unconditional love. Love that doesn’t come with prerequisites. Lead with love every single day. Stop taking and never giving. Stop smiling while stabbing backs. To thy own self, be true. There’s too much hate in this world. Too much trauma. Nobody needs more of it. No more flat lines. We need love lines. We need to be human defibrillators—pumping love, joy, hope, and soul back into our people. Take time today… To check yourself. #LoveLinesNotFlatLines #LeadWithLove #HealingStartsWithYou #PeaceIsAChoice #BeTheLight #SoulCheck #AuthenticLove #peaceisalifestyle #ilovemylife #orange4peace To those being killed and those killing them selves today we change because of you!! My heart goes out to your family ✌🏾🧡🏁
