Urban Peace Institute envisions a world where every individual lives a life of peace, hope, and power. We strive to make this vision a reality by partnering with, training, and advocating for on-the-ground leaders who have the ability to transform systems and save lives.
Equitable safety and justice rooted in community-led solutions are at the core of UPI’s efforts. Our programming seeks to ensure that the communities most impacted by violence and systemic harm – throughout Los Angeles and across the nation – are equipped with tools and resources to create lasting peace. We hope you’ll join us in creating better futures for generations to come.
