GoGo Over Violence
GoGo Over Violence (GGOV) is the non profit initiative of GGOE. Jerry Carter who is a gun
shot survivor of 11 shots created this non profit arm of GoGo Over Violence to address the
growing crime in Washington, DC. Our mission is to encourage youth and young adults to put down the weapons and instead pick up the music!
Gogo Over Violence is dedicated to combating violence by empowering individuals to seek
creative expression and education. Our mission is to provide a positive outlet as an alternative
to street violence and illegal activities by offering workshops in basic music theory and exploring the rich history of DC's official genre, Gogo music. Through this anti-violence initiative, we aim to cultivate resilience by directing focus to positive activities, foster community engagement, and empower the next generation to overcome challenges, utilizing the universal language of music.
