3rd Inaugural Peaceful Summer Fest

The Institute of Research for Social Justice in Action (IRSJA) is honored to be a proud sponsor of the 3rd Inaugural Peaceful Summer Fest, presented in partnership with Man Up Inc. and its founder, A.T. Mitchell-Mann.

This annual celebration is more than a festival—it’s a movement for unity, healing, and community transformation. Peaceful Summer Fest brings together families, youth, and community leaders for a day filled with music, culture, resources, and opportunities, all centered on the mission of reducing violence and building stronger neighborhoods.

Through this partnership, IRSJA continues its commitment to uplifting grassroots solutions, amplifying credible messengers, and fostering environments where peace and progress can thrive. The festival stands as a testament to what is possible when organizations work together to empower communities from the ground up.
