Come summer, we often hear stories about youth violence and no more. Please take part in this news conference so you can hear about what
more needs to be told. These are the stories of everyday heroes and of community groups and neighborhoods working against violence.
They are stories about solutions and hope and not stereotypes or despair.
Speakers from black and Latino community groups will talk about their efforts. This is part of an ongoing campaign called We Are Not Alone – No Estamos Solos.
It is an effort to link the black and Latino news media to tell different stories about Chicago’s youth violence. The Community Media Workshop and the Back of the Yards
Council are the program’s sponsors. Grants from the Field and McCormick Foundations support this effort .
