As the #DemConvention gets underway, we teamed up with @ChicagoCred and @GPACIllinois to highlight the work being done on the ground in Illinois to stop gun violence.
Community violence intervention strategies are essential to any public safety effort, and these heroic lawmakers, survivors, and peacemakers work day in and out to save lives in Illinois.
Breakthrough is grateful for the support of @NorthernTrust in partnership with the @McCormick_Fdn. Together, we are working to increase food access and improve the health and wellbeing of residents in Garfield Park.
