According to the Chicago Tribune, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/local\/breaking\/ct-more-than-100-people-have-been-shot-in-chicago-so-far-this-year-20160111-story.html\">\u201cIn the first ten days of 2016, three times as many people were shot in Chicago as in the beginning of 2015.\u201d <\/a> While the issue of violence in Chicago has gained local and national media attention, it has overlooked organizations working to provide solutions against violence.<br \/>\nThe Resurrection Project\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/resurrectionproject.org\/programs-and-services\/health-and-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(TRP) Safety Initiative<\/a> is working in different communities to provide solutions and create a culture of nonviolence. Currently, TRP is working with 300 students from several schools who are learning nonviolence through their community peace education programming. Their most recent event included a Youth Peace Safety Walk and Assembly Celebration in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.<br \/>\nThe event brought together over 100 youth representing Daley Elementary School and Richards Career Academy High School.\u00a0Youth held up signs that read, \u201cNo Violence, Give Peace A Chance,\u201d as they marched with parents and adult allies at Cornell Square Park. For many of these neighborhood youth and their parents, it is the first time they participate in a peace safety walk.<br \/>\nThe goal of the event was to promote peacemaking and nonviolence, especially as questions of violence are at the forefront of so many Chicago headlines. TRP is taking the lead to build healthy communities through safety initiatives that activate youth and parents toward becoming agents of change.<br \/>\nAfter the Peace and Safety Walk, students gathered in the gym for a special assembly celebration. \u201cThe principal, teachers, and student leaders shared testimonies about what they have learned regarding peace education,\u201d said Henry Cervantes, TRP\u2019s Safety Organizer. \u201cThey also shared their visions for nonviolence in the broader community.\u201d<br \/>\nDuring the summer and school year, TRP staff leads <a href=\"https:\/\/resurrectionproject.org\/programs-and-services\/health-and-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peacemaking and nonviolence trainings for youth.<\/a> Students learn and understand how and why conflict occurs. Youth learn how to de-escalate problems and find common resolutions.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11081 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/resurrectionproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/safetyevent3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"537\" height=\"403\" \/>At the event, students proudly showed off their certificates of achievement for completing TRP\u2019s Peace Education Program. The event concluded with a screening of <em>The Children\u2019s March, <\/em>the real story of how young people in Birmingham, Alabama brought violence and segregation to its knees in 1963.<br \/>\nThe Cornell Square Park District, the staff of Alderman Willie B. Cochran of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> Ward, and Peace Officers of the 9<sup>th<\/sup> District Chicago Police Department also participated in the event. \u201cThis is the first of many youth peace outreach events TRP will be hosting in Back of the Yards,\u201d said Henry.<br \/>\nOther TRP safety initiatives included a Father\u2019s Peace Conference in another partner school on Chicago\u2019s southwest side that engaged fathers in peace efforts that impact their children and community as a whole. \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to have dads who are backing us up in this fight,\u201d said Henry. \u201cThey are the ones modeling peace and nonviolence in our communities.\u201d<br \/>\nDuring the summer, TRP will also hold its annual Resurrection Basketball League (RBL) street tournament that takes place throughout the Pilsen community every Friday throughout the summer months. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/resurrectionproject.org\/programs-and-services\/health-and-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more about TRP&#8217;s Safety Initiatives&#8230;<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Resurrection Project is committed to doing more in five years than in 25 years by increasing all of its programming and providing solutions to community problems ranging from safety to housing to immigration.
