“You have people giving you advice and telling you things, but no one is actually going to really make that change until they’re ready to make that change or see different alternative lifestyles and different ways of living,” Deal said.

Billy Deal uses his social media platforms, which have more than 270K followers combined, to shed light on the harms of engaging in a life of crime and violence. He spoke from experience, having previously been a member of a gang for more than 20 years, starting at the age of 16.

A community-based approach to #violencereduction is effective because of its trustworthy messengers who ultimately believe in the resiliency of Garfield Park.

Public safety isn’t just about addressing the root causes of crime or stopping people from picking up a gun. Sometimes, making a neighborhood safer is as simple as a water balloon or a bounce house. @CP4PPartners' Light in the Night series does just that.
