Welcome to P.E.A.C.E. Inc. Buffalo
A small group of concerned citizens established a series of meetings with Erie County District Attorney Frank Clark for assistance in establishing a process to assure the transfer of information of the status of the investigation to families of homicide victims. Parents Encouraging Accountability and Closure for Everyone was created as an advocacy group for families of homicide victims.
Event Highlight - The Cost of Gun Violence Two Day Conference
P.E.A.C.E., Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is announcing our upcoming conference, The Cost of Gun Violence, where we invite you to join us in addressing the impact of death by gun violence on our communities.
Death by gun violence is a critical public health issue.
Out of every ten deaths, six are suicides by guns.
Every day, 68 deaths occur by firearm.
In one year alone, 49,000 deaths caused by firearms took place in the U.S.
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting our affected communities, P.E.A.C.E., Inc. is hosting a two-day conference to bring together professionals, researchers, practitioners, community agencies, healthcare and justice personnel, students, victims, survivors, and advocates to address the far-reaching impact of gun violence collectively.
