On August 27th, JJIE and SparkAction facilitated a live group video-chat featuring staff members from the Save Our Streets Crown Heights Mediation Center in New York City — a community-based program modeled after the successful Cure Violence program in Chicago — and journalist Clay Duda - author of the article “The Art of Interrupting Deadly Youth Violence." It was a lively conversation discussing how the program works, the importance of the youth component and what other cities and localities can learn and start from Save Our Streets Crown Heights.
Participants:
- Clay Duda, journalist and author of the article “The Art of Interrupting Deadly Youth Violence”
- Amy Ellenbogen, Director, Crown Heights Mediation Center
