Nonviolence Chicago’s Fundraiser
Benefitting: Institute for Nonviolence Chicago
Team: Nonviolence Chicago
Event Fundraiser: Strides For Peace - 2019 Race Against Gun Violence
I am running to support Nonviolence Chicago because I believe they are a true catalyst for collaborative change. They are dismantling violence and building peace in Austin, West Garfield Park and Back of the Yards. Nonviolence Chicago is also a leader in violence prevention and intervention efforts citywide. The approach that Nonviolence Chicago takes to engaging the community in services is hyper-local, restorative, trauma-informed and rooted in principles of nonviolence.

About Institute for Nonviolence Chicago
Through the teachings of Dr. King, Nonviolence Chicago infuses high doses of nonviolence through community members and role models to change the prevalence and status quo of violence. Using a collaborative community-based approach founded on the theories and practices of nonviolence and relationship building, Nonviolence Chicago works with the highest risk ("in-risk") individuals and the communities in which they live.
