This Organization doesn't answer all of the problems, but I think it's a start, MASK: Mothers Against Senseless Killin g.

I think the external help financially is great, but it's best used the way members living in the community decide for solving their own issues-- the hardest part is finding ways to organize and empower people, but once done with a clear mission it is best for those with lived experience to communicate their needs and others can join to work to solve them.
