About Us
Welcome to the official Pomona Community Action for Peace website. We are a violence prevention coalition committed to breaking cycles of violence and fostering healing through non-punitive, community-led change.
Founded in 2023, our coalition unites a diverse range of voices—including local residents, grassroots and community-based organizations, faith leaders, schools, and other stakeholders—to tackle the root causes of violence in our neighborhoods.
Together, we create spaces where healing can happen and work collaboratively to build a safer community through collective action and shared responsibility.
Mission
Advancing peace, breaking the cycle of violence, and building a thriving Pomona free from harm through awareness, collaboration, and personal empowerment. Together, we work toward a future without violence.
Vision
We envision a Pomona community so strong and united that violence and harm are driven out by an unshakeable dedication to empathy, peace, and trust.
Values
Education, Empowerment, Collaboration, Healing.
01
Awareness & Education
We hold monthly community meetings to raise awareness about the importance of community-led public safety. These gatherings bring together residents, local leaders, and stakeholders to discuss how we can collectively create a safer, more resilient Pomona. Our capacity-building and technical assistance trainings are shaped based on coalition member feedback, ensuring that we equip local leaders with relevant skills and knowledge to drive meaningful change.
02
Collective Action
We’ve built a strong network of community members, organizations, and partners all working together to foster peace. Our focus is on collective, strategic initiatives designed to reduce violence and promote healing, with every partner—whether grassroots groups, local agencies, or residents—playing a critical role in advancing non-punitive, community-driven solutions for public safety in Pomona.
03
Feedback & Growth
We actively seek community input to measure the impact of our initiatives and identify areas for improvement. Through surveys, open forums, and feedback mechanisms, we ensure that the voices of those we serve guide our efforts, helping us refine our strategies and continue growing as a coalition dedicated to peace and safety.
