Ending gun violence requires bold investments in communities most impacted.
Today President Biden proposed just that. The Biden-Harris Administration 2024 budget proposal reinforced their commitment to invest $5 billion in Community Violence Intervention and Prevention programs over 10 years. If passed into law, these resources will save thousands of lives in Black and Brown communities from the spiraling crisis of gun violence.
From hospital and street intervention to group violence prevention and behavioral therapy programs, there are multiple proven evidence-based community violence intervention models that we know can save lives TODAY. That's why these resources are so crucial.
It's also why we created www.endcommunityviolence.com to share more on these programs and how cities are investing in these strategies across the country. |
