Cure Violence Chicago

Should Violence be Treated Like A Disease? freethink.com/articles/shoul…

Assessment for risk of violence is not an add on for health systems -- it should be an essential part of health care @PennNursing

Everyone can agree that prevention is better than prosecution -- we need our investments to reflect this.

“Cure Violence believed in me until I believed in myself” @AngaliaBianca

@SassCBrown @davidhogg111 Cure Violence model is a public health approach. We hire violence interrupters 2 change behaviors & mediate conflicts that would otherwise turn to shootings and / or death. Legislation needed for funding to implement the model 2 save lives cureviolence.org

@davidhogg111 @CeaseFireChgo Please describe to me exactly what legislation do you think will stop someone who is hell bent on killing? Remember they’re planning maSs murder. Your puny laws mean nothing to a mentally ill shooter.

Politicians know each day of inaction is killing innocent American children. They need to pass legislation for gun sense or funding for behavior intervention programs like @CeaseFireChgo.

But unfortunately in Chicago we just hire more police. We need more @CeaseFireChgo instead, @ChicagosMayor. twitter.com/ransfordcv/sta…
