Combating Gun Violence

What problem would you like to solve?

I would like to solve the problem of gun violence throughout The Bronx.

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

In our district, there have been several shootings in the past nine months alone. Innocent bystanders are the victims. A baby was shot, yet no change can distinctly be seen.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Bring back anti-crime. Put more funding into Bronx Public Schools and extracurricular programs. Clean graffiti, add lighting to dark areas, keep the streets clean of litter, fund civic engagement.

Who would that help?

This will help the youth and overall district. People want to feel seen and heard.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
