It’s Simple… Now Is The Time To End America’s Gun Epidemic!

Before this senseless tragedy my sense of purpose was making sure my sons had what they needed to become successful human beings. My purpose has now shifted, and I am looking beyond my own tragedies. Unexplainable and senseless tragedies will definitely keep happening if I don’t continue to speak openly about my experiences and work towards ending gun violence in our communities. My life’s new mission is to make sure we integrate common-sense solutions into our existing gun laws and fight to eradicate black-on-black crimes. I have created the Aramis Peterson Foundation to support community advocacy and to be a platform for social justice that extends beyond laws. We are working continuously to make sure that all people’s lives are valued and defended in the way our Constitution intended.
