The group started with three mothers in 2015 who lost their children to gun violence in Middle Tennessee, but quickly grew to 45 and then 100-mothers. Today, those involved with Mothers Over Murder (MOM) work together to support one another through the pain of losing a child. The group also works to educate the community about the growing trend of violence in places like Murfreesboro, Nashville and beyond.
