Boots on the Ground is a Neighborhood Community Resource Festival—a family-friendly event designed to bring our community together while raising awareness about the various forms of violence that continue to impact our area.

With the support of the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), Ypsilanti Police Department (YPD), Ypsilanti Fire Department (YFD), and our local school marching band, this event will promote unity, healing, and access to critical resources. In addition to the event, we are preparing resource packets for community members who may have been affected by:

• Domestic violence

• Gun violence

• Sexual assault

• Homicide/manslaughter

• Robbery

• Other violent crimes
