E.M.I.R. is a nonprofit organization that services and supports family members and friends who have been affected by homicide.
Survivors of a violent death have to be contend with a totally different set of circumstances than someone who has experienced a "natural " death. 
E.M.I.R. is here to guide survivors through the many feelings they will experiences and the legal ramifications that are inevitable.
E.M.I.R. offers concrete, practical, and compassionate steps towards healing.

- Victoria Greene (mother of Emir Greene), in a letter to the Germantown Courier

  
   
   
   
       
    Mission Statement  
       
    Every Murder Is Real (E.M.I.R.) is a grassroots organization founded by Victoria Greene, whose son, Emir Greene, was murdered by gun violence on March 26, 1997.

The mission of E.M.I.R. is to educate the youth, the community and professionals about the long-lasting effects of drug-related homicides.

In an ongoing effort to reduce the senseless acts of violence in the City of Philadelphia, the mission of E.M.I.R. is to also address the unique needs surrounding the trauma and permanent devastation that follows the loss of a loved one through murder with advocacy and education.
