The purpose of the JUST STOP Project was to give  youth the opportunity to speak out about gun violence and its effects on their lives. We wanted to hear what changes they would like to see & how they will help to make those changes happen.  The workshop occurred remotely due to pandemic and offered an opportunity to share personal stories, review statistics and share solutions. The PSA is a result of the discussions that we had. U Can Turn It Around was started in 2011 due to an outbreak of violence in West Humboldt park and we continue to push for peace in Chicago communities! 

The Project is the result of a collaboration with City Motivators, Angel’s Touch Ministries, The Healing Academy and Melanated in America. Please continue to support us in our work of facilitating transformation!
