Touchable Stories Community Efforts are vitally involved with the Bobby Mendes Peace Legacy project’s direct anti-violence efforts in the Uphams Corner neighborhood of Dorchester in Boston, Massachusetts. The BMPL grew outward as a response to the growing tide of homicides in the Dorchester/Roxbury neighborhoods of Boston. The program efforts include grief consulting for children and adults, round table dinners, and holiday celebrations fostering solidarity and safety for local children.

Touchable Stories and BMPL are working to bring founding activist Isaura Mendes to the west to meet members of Richmond’s Tent City non-violence initiative. With a decade of experience at BMPL and a phenomenal two years of growth for Tent City, each organization is convinced there is much to share. To help us Touchable Stories and BMPL in their efforts to build a solution to violence among youth in our nation’s urban communities, please call
