About Me

CeaseFire (based exclusively in Avondale) is modeled after CeaseFire Chicago, a comprehensive campaign that has gained national recognition due to the significant reductions in shootings and homicide in its target neighborhoods. CeaseFire is a strategic, multi-pronged strategy that relies on five core components: Youth Outreach and Intervention of High-Risk Youth and Families; Collaboration between Criminal Justice Agencies and personnel; Community Mobilization to organize community responses to gun-related homicides; Public Education to change attitudes and behaviors about gun violence; and Faith-Based Leadership to engage the faith community as a moral voice to challenge the norms about gun violence in Avondale.CeaseFire is funded by the City of Cincinnati and works in partnership with the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV), a city-wide gun violence reduction strategy.

My Interests
