Our Purpose

Most Americans are familiar with the names of Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, and Jordan Davis, and the murdered children in Newtown Connecticut. Yet for every name and story of murdered children there are 10 whose deaths go unheralded. The deaths of young men like Gregory Johnson Junior (killed at San Jose State University), Kerry Baxter Junior, (shot and killed in East Oakland, CA), James Rivera Junior (killed by Police in Stockton, CA), Andy Lopez (killed by Sheriff Deputy in Santa Rosa, CA), Derrick Gaines (killed in South San Francisco), Mario Romero (killed by Police in Vallejo, California), and so many more of our young people. Their voices are silenced and the cries of their mothers and nurturers unheard. Get on the Bus is an event for mothers who whose voices and stories have not been told. The Inter Council For Mother's of Murdered Children gives Voice to the Voiceless. Mothers from across the country will meet and speak in one Voice. It is a healing journey which will end in DC with the issues and a discussion on solutions to protect Americas' Children.
