Cash Warren and Tarik Ross Tackle Gang Violence

For decades, urban and gang violence has been a hands off issue for our national government.  We know why; the people in the White House didn’t see it as ‘their problem,’ and in the meantime there’s been a war in our streets that has cost thousands of our young lives and made it unsafe for us to go outside.

Now, we have an opportunity with the Obama Administration to push him to invest in new kinds of violence prevention programs, not just putting more cop cars and cameras on the streets.

Cash and Tarik are right…it is going to take serious investment in community based solutions, in programs like Amer-I-Can that have a track record of solving the problems from the ground up.

The League of Young Voters Education Fund is working in our communities to bring attention to local violence on a national level.  To get involved or speak your mind, email: theleague@99problems.org with your name and zip code.
