CHICAGO ~ On Thursday, Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago announced a comprehensive public safety and engagement plan for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. This plan includes a $2.5 million investment from the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities' 8th annual Chicago Fund. The public-private partnership investment will support violence prevention and youth outreach efforts across the city by funding the work of 253 grassroots organizations working across 24 communities on the South and West sides.
The funding will begin with engaging young people in activities during Memorial Day weekend and during the gap between the end of the school year and the beginning of Chicago Park District programming. It will also support youth programming efforts during the summer and fall.
Mayor Johnson expressed his commitment to building a city where every single resident feels safe, saying "Today illustrates our commitment to working together across government, business, and community sectors—and with philanthropic organizations like the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities coalition—to bring solutions to communities most impacted by violence and advance our vision for a safer, stronger Chicago."
