"The work is important in so many ways. Not only are we saving the lives of the people we are contacting in the community, but this program has saved us as well. Many of the guys we currently have in the team, all of us have lived that lifestyle - who better to go back into the community than us, to bring the community out with us and to stop the shooting. It’s trying to have people succeed with us in life. We want people to put the guns down so we can put something else in your hands - whatever it is, schools, mental health care, job opportunities - anything we can do to make a person successful in the community. Stopping the violence is part of what we do, but we are more about lifting people up." - David Johnson, Bull City United in Durham, Community Violence Intervention Program We know prevention of gun violence is possible through education.
