This year Columbus, Ohio has seen a surge in gun-related deaths. By October 10th, 2017 there has been 100 homicides alone. As a community we have lost several of young Somali boys and countless others from different local communities to senseless gun violence. Enough is enough. The youth of Abubakar Assidiq Islamic Center have come together to organize a youth conference to tackle the many issues our Muslim youth are facing. Whether it's gun violence, drugs, gangs, issues within families, spiritual issues and others. We realized we needed a platform to discuss these issues and to come together as a community to discuss solutions and heal.

Voices Against Violence will be a two-day youth conference from November 23rd-24th. We will start at 3pm on Thursday and 2:30pm on Friday. The conference will include inspiring Islamic lectures by Shaykh Kamal Elmekki, motivating panel discussions, heartfelt spoken word and more.
