Bringing Back the Village
Our vision aligns with the voices and needs of those living in the various communities throughout Minneapolis, especially those living in the highest disparity neighborhoods. A safe community for all through reduction of violence with guns/retaliation, domestic violence, overdoses and suicides from unaddressed trauma.
The ultimate goal for the work of AMLI is to strengthen families, our youth and community. Intervening before violence occurs, while it is occurring, and to prevent retaliation. This requires our work to be intentional, thoughtful, and with programming that addresses the root causes of poverty, heals damaged relationships and changes perspectives. We offer several empowerment programs designed to do the hard work that is necessary for real change to happen.
A Mother’s Love Initiative’s Motto:
