Project ECHO is a community-built organization reimagining violence interruption to inspire positive change in our neighborhoods.

We are a community built movement, rising from the same blocks we serve, expanding the Cure Violence model into something deeper, something rooted in faith, culture, and collective responsibility.

 

Born from the GodSquad’s legacy and established in 2023, we stand as a bridge between what our neighborhood has endured and what it deserves. We interrupt violence not only by stopping moments of harm, but by creating pathways to hope, dignity, and growth for those at the highest risk.

 

Our mission is to turn pain into purpose, conflict into connection, and neighbors into leaders. We walk with those impacted by gun violence, offering space to heal, opportunities to rebuild, and a community that refuses to give up on its own.

 

Project ECHO is the sound of a new future taking shape, a future where East Flatbush stands safer, stronger, and united. We cure violence by empowering our people. We uplift the community by echoing its strength.
