This week, we are acknowledging a historical milestone, as Lexington is set to reach 120 consecutive days and 4 months without a homicide. I looked back through the archives as far as our city's records go, and I could not find the last time our city had these many days without a homicide. This isn't something we are "celebrating" but something we are amplifying as a sign of hope and a reminder of vigilance. While highlighting progress in this line of work is difficult because so many have already lost their lives, it's important to document the work being done every day to address this issue.

Led by our public safety partners, the community as stepped up to the plate and our "All Hearts on Deck" approach is making a real difference! Government, faith community, nonprofits, school system, survivors, justice system partners, former drivers of violence, young people, the business community, all working TOGETHER!!

This month is national “Gun Violence Awareness Month”. Below are some ways that ONE Lexington looks to acknowledge this important issue during the month of June:

- ONE Lexington’s director, Devine Carama, collaborates with Lexington-Fayette County Health Department on gun safety PSA which can be viewed here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS6qJlL_KL0

- ONE Lexington hosts “Gun Safety Training” for community partners and residents on Tuesday, June 9th. You can register here - https://forms.gle/jB4RJ8wdwEmLjDRs6

- ONE Lexington’s 6th annual “It Takes A Village” Summer Youth Program kicks off! Contact Tania Walker for volunteer opportunities [email protected]

- June 15th, ONE Lexington is challenging 100 BLACK MEN to show up at Gainesway Park to go door-to-door to engage the neighbors in the area. For more information, contact Larry Johnson at [email protected]
