Safe Summer 2024 Initiative
The Safe Summer 2024 Initiative has connected over 25 organizations committed to addressing gun violence and creating peace in high-crime neighborhoods.
The coalition will host job fairs, support block clean-ups, launch mobile office hours for state services, and coordinate targeted violence intervention work Northwest Philadelphia.
We have seen a 33% decrease in gun violence within high crime areas in the NW compared to last year.
