Ceasefire Chicago

Ceasefire Chicago is a community-based violence prevention program aimed at reducing gun violence and promoting public safety. It operates by engaging trusted community members, known as "violence interrupters," who intervene in conflicts before they escalate into violence. The program also offers support and resources to individuals at risk, focusing on conflict resolution, mentorship, and addressing underlying issues like poverty and lack of opportunities. By building relationships and promoting nonviolent solutions, Ceasefire Chicago seeks to create safer neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for residents.
