More than a dozen Chicago violence prevention groups, community and city leaders came together under one roof in South Shore to talk about what is being done to combat violence in their neighborhoods.
Leaders of the non-profits and those participating spoke about the efforts at the South Shore Cultural Center.
"The violence has been spreading. We see it in North Side neighborhoods. We're seeing it in Rogers Park, and we see it downtown. The work that we are doing and the message that we will be talking about is a need for coordination," Jack Jomarron with Chicago Cred said. "The collaboration that we've shown in this last year, in the last five years and even before that is going to be paramount in defeating the pandemic which is violence in Chicago.
