What Others
Are Saying

The Cure Violence Cicero program has been a big help. When there are problems in the community between the different gangs, we sit down with Cure Violence Cicero workers and get them on board. Their interrupters and outreach workers get in the middle the conflict and calm the storms before they erupt into bigger problems. They are a great asset.Jerry Chlada, Jr., Superintendent, Cicero Police Department (IL)

I know Cure Violence is effective.Andrea Zopp, Deputy Mayor and Chief Neighborhood Development Officer; former CEO Chicago Urban League
