Traditionally, cities have responded to community-level violence by increasing the presence of a militarized police force. This solution has repeatedly failed with sometimes fatal consequences; compounding trauma and leading to more violence. A new solution, one that comes from within the community itself, offers a new way forward: violence interrupters.
Join FCNL General Secretary Bridget Moix and José Woss to learn about the work FCNL is doing to promote violence interrupters as a way to address violence in communities.
