What if we treated violence like a contagious disease? We know that violence spreads like a virus. When one person becomes infected, it spreads throughout entire communities.

There are US cities that are doing just that, and the results are amazing. Take a look:

  • In one community in Chicago, shootings dropped by 67%
  • New Orleans went 200 days without a murder
  • In one Brooklyn community, an entire year passed without a single shooting

Cure Violence’s “Health Approach” is effectively stopping the spread of violence. Together, we can cure violence. Learn more and take action HERE.
