Unlocked Futures
We Are Better Together Warren Daniel Hairston Project (WAB2G) connects and heals women and girls affected by homicide and incarceration to prevent the cycles of violence and victimization.
Year Founded: 2017
Using the methodology developed through their signature caregiver program and guided by the Principles of Trauma Informed and Equitable Care and the Theory of Change model, WAB2G’s programs deliver wrap-around services to young women and adult caregivers in safe, non-judgmental environments. Our programs are an intentional and informed response to the voices of those we serve – the women and young girls of our community.
We Are Better Together Warren Daniel Hairston Project was founded by Ruth Rollins in 2017, after the murder of her son, Danny Hairston, and the incarceration of her second son. Although there were services available for homicide victim’s families (survivors), there weren’t any available to mothers who had lost loved ones to incarceration.
Ruth found her voice and founded We Are Better Together Warren Daniel Hairston Project to honor her son’s legacy and to engage and empower mothers impacted on both sides of gun violence in the peacemaking process. We Are Better Together aims to bring together families impacted on both sides by homicide and incarceration in order to foster healing and unity in the community.
