… New Yorkers Against Gun Violence Education Fund will join with the American Friends Service Committee New York Metro Regional Office to organize anti-gun efforts in neighborhoods that suffer most from gun violence. With a $50,000 grant, meetings will be held with youth, community leaders, residents, and local police to hear concerns, identify conditions that lead to illegal guns, and listen to ideas to decrease the demand for guns. It will also form a youth chapter in Brooklyn that will teach young people to speak out against illegal guns.
