About The Organization
Our Story: From "R.I.P." to "L.I.P."
The Live In Peace Movement was born in 2013 after Pastor Mo and our team noticed a painful trend in Detroit, too many young people wearing “R.I.P.” shirts to honor friends lost to violence. For many in our neighborhoods, peace had become something people believed you only found after death.
We chose to change that narrative. By removing the “R” and leaving the “L,” Live In Peace became a movement with a simple message: you don’t have to die to live in peace. Our mission is to protect the living, uplift our youth, and remind every person that their life and dreams still matter.
