Results / Success Stories

People Reformed, Communities Transformed, Cities Revitalized

While Cure Violence communities have had impressive reductions in violence, the statistics fail to capture the profound effects that the program has had. To more fully capture the effects of the program, we have captured some of these stories – of conflicts prevented, lives saved, people reformed, communities transformed, and cities revitalized.

These stories are the reason we do what we do. Each one represents a step towards a world without violence.

What Others
Are Saying

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

I was on the board because I was a U.S. Attorney. It’s been ten years since I was a U.S. Attorney, and I voluntarily stayed on the board because I think the model does work.Scott Lassar, Former US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago
