Violence has no rhyme or reason.... It doesn't care about age, race or sex. There is nothing any of us can do to change the past.. But there are things we can do to change the future.. There is power in numbers.. We have laws that need to be changed or updated. Victims have limited rights, which one only learns about after a tragic event. We need to correct this. We need to hold perpatrators accountable for their actions! No one has the right to take a life! Please get involved. Violence is everyone's problem. If you are interested in helping Years of Tears in anyway, please write to info@yearsoftears.org Help us make year number three even better than our second!
