Kiity Genovese was a woman of Italian descent and a lesbian living in Kew Gardens, Queens—a predominantly Black and Brown community—her story highlights the painful realities of the Bystander Effect and racial bias in policing. Recent studies have revealed the impact of historical and systemic racism, illustrating how unconscious biases can shape responses to emergencies. In light of this, we are dedicated to providing resources for transitional housing and culturally specific violence prevention programs for minorities, and people of color, particularly supporting the Black & Brown communities. Together, we can work towards a safer and more compassionate community.
