Gun homicides in the U.S. are dropping fast, and it isn't luck. At #CGI2026, Dr. Williams explained why community violence intervention is working and how to sustain it as funding shrinks. The progress is real. Let's protect it. cvg.org #CVI @ClintonFdn

New from @nytimes: federal funding for violence prevention has taken a major hit — $150M cut to grant program that supports community violence intervention work like ours. The need for trained Violence Interrupters hasn't gone anywhere. The funding has. nytimes.com/2026/07/07/us/po…

Juneteenth marks freedom — granted to the last enslaved people in America in 1865, after 246 years of violence. That fight for full freedom continued against Jim Crow and redlining, and continues today. We're committed to closing the gap. #Juneteenth
