The Cure Violence model has not only saved thousands of lives in cities like Chicago, New York, and Baltimore; it also has given hope to millions by demonstrating that violence can be stopped using the strategies of public health. We will never achieve a Culture of Health if our culture of violence goes unchecked. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MPH, Former President & CEO, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
These interrupters are real heroes in the communities. What we see on the news happens when nobody interrupted the violence, and what we don’t see on the news is often because the interrupters were successful in preventing a shooting from happening in the first place.Reverend Marshall Hatch, New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, Chicago
