Ending Gun Violence Starts With You!
Our Story: The Aramis Peterson Foundation
In January 2017, Aramis Peterson, 27, was shot and killed by senseless gun violence in Atlanta, GA. His mother, Phyllis Peterson, has since become a vocal Social Justice and Gun Violence Advocate. Phyllis not only advocates for her son Aramis, but she is also an advocate for all mothers who feel voiceless in the wake of losing their children to gun violence.
Since Aramis’ death, Phyllis Peterson founded The Aramis Peterson Foundation in her son’s name to honor his memory and has been dedicated to helping other mothers who are experiencing grief from their traumatic losses.
Under Phyllis’ passionate leadership and guidance, The Aramis Peterson Foundation continues to help numerous families by providing counseling resources, advising on navigating the legal system and seeking justice, and most often, just being compassionate by lending a listening ear.
