John,

Mississippi’s Operation Good is at stake.

This community violence intervention program has been a historic model
that has made a significant difference for Black men and teens.

Operation Good helps young people figure out their priorities, gives
mentorship, coaching, and helps point them in the right direction. The
program also provides them with the tools to refocus on what’s most
important and helps participants start to see violence isn’t the answer.

We know programs like Operation Good are critical in our community.
Addressing the root causes of gun violence is the only way to end it
completely. Programs that are led by the community, for the community are
what create lasting change.

But, there’s one major issue.

Back in April, the Trump administration cut more than $800 million in
grants managed by the justice department’s Office of Justice Programs
(OJP) to organizations like Operation Good, who work in underserved Black
and Latino communities.

The Trump administration took away Operation Good’s $250 million grant as
part of these cuts, amounting to 20% of its budget.

The loss of federal funds means less money for things like gas for
intervention workers to get to the sites of shootings and do their nightly
drives through the neighborhood.

Intervention workers are the core of Operation Good, without them none of
this work would be possible.

Yet, the Trump administration doesn’t care. They don’t care about our
safety or our well-being. They care about lining their pockets with NRA
and gun lobby cash.

March For Our Lives is here to uplift programs like Operation Good while
the government tries to tear them down. [ [link removed] ]Gun violence prevention
