A   Crusade   to   Honor   Our   Lost

We are a team of committed American citizens who understand that you can't be a part of the solution unless you're a part of the process. 

Please join us to walk in Washington, DC on Jan 20, 2018 to deliver 2,000 crosses which will symbolize that our American loved ones are never forgotten. We honor our fellow Americans. This is a vigil to promote unity; it is not political.

Executive Staff Member of Crosses for the Lost: America Not Forgotten, Tao Martinez has also lost his brother, Yari to an act of violence two years ago.

"It's important that no one feels that they're alone in supporting a loved one lost to violence," Martinez added. "We're lifting the nation and providing a community of support and inspiration to show that healing is possible." 

The trio uses an unparalleled support, intervention, and prevention model of to tackle violence before it starts. The Aurora, Illinois-based organization uses solution oriented and inspiring messages to reduce violence and crime, nationally.

"The walk serves to remember and memorialize  the victims and support the families and friends they left behind," explained Renteria.
