"We will do everything from showing up ourselves to showing up with law enforcement, just to ensure health and safety. The goal is to keep everybody alive."— Marva Moses
Violence Interruption Program
On-Call Intervention:
When It Counts Most
The most urgent — and most consequential — work VIP staff do happens on-call. When a young person reaches out because something is about to go wrong, or when VIP staff become aware of a situation that could escalate to violence, they respond. This is not theoretical. Marva Moses has already conducted one intervention since the program launched.
On-call intervention is a distinct category of VIP work — separate from prevention programming. It requires availability, judgment, and deep relational trust. When it works, nobody hears about it. That's the point.
Sending a text to request support is an accessible, low-barrier channel for young people or community members to reach out when they see or hear something concerning
Radio
Broadcast messaging to reach households across the community
Billboards
Visible, neighborhood-level presence that signals VIP is here and active
Social Media
Building awareness among community members who may not be directly connected to the school-based programs, and it creates a public culture of safety
