It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of KHALIF MUJAHID-ALI, a beloved community activist and leader in Philadelphia. Khalif passed away peacefully on May 7, 2023 at the age of 60.

Khalif was a fearless and devoted advocate for ending gun violence in our city and worked tirelessly to promote peace and safety for all. His work as a community leader and activist was unparalleled, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.

Khalif had a deep passion for family. He believed that strong families were the foundation of strong communities, and he worked tirelessly to support and uplift families throughout Philadelphia. He was a true champion for youth, and his fierce advocacy for youth led him to founding a grassroots nonprofit organization, the Beloved Care Project, established in 2021. The organization is rooted in the belief that it takes a village to raise a child so a child can come back and raise a village. Since its founding, the Beloved Care Project has touched the lives of countless young people.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his legacy will continue to inspire us to work for a better, safer, and more just Philadelphia.

We extend our deepest condolences to Khalif's family and loved ones during this difficult time. His contributions to our community will never be forgotten, and his impact will continue to be felt for years to come. Rest in power, Khalif.
