At Mothers of Murdered Angels (MOMA), we don’t just see the numbers—we live the heartbreak behind them. Gun violence isn’t just a news headline. It’s the empty chair at the dinner table. It’s the silence that follows a child’s laughter. It’s the wound that never fully heals.
Every year, thousands of families are forever changed by gun violence. Mothers bury children, siblings lose best friends, and entire communities are left searching for answers. We know this pain all too well—and that’s why we’ve turned it into purpose.
MOMA stands in the gap for those affected, offering not just support, but solutions. Through advocacy, survivor resources, and community education, we’re working to disrupt the cycle. We believe in a future where our children grow up safe, where justice is more than a hope, and where grief doesn't have the final word.
But we can’t do it alone. We need your voice, your support, and your action. Whether you're a survivor, a concerned citizen, or someone looking to make a difference—there’s a place for you in this movement.
Together, we can turn pain into power and build a future free from gun violence.
