Poverty and Gun Violence

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

The problem I would like to solve is the amount of gun violence and poverty in my community.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

This is important because there are a lot of people in the community that are suffer because of poverty and gun violence and they shouldn't have to.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

I would like for the government to create actual affordable housing. I would also like for the government to enforce gun laws in NYC.

Who would that help?

This will help all NYC citizens

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn
