Building Peaceful Communities: A Discussion About Gun Violence
In January, 2018, FAN launched a new teen initiative called “FAN Fellows,” a pilot group of sixteen high school juniors from four area schools collaborating on the concept and execution of a FAN program. In the wake of the gun violence that has encompassed our country this year, the FAN Fellows have decided to host an intersectional discussion on the topic, which will feature Rie’onna Holman and Diamond Ocasio, two ambassadors from B.R.A.V.E Youth Leaders (based at St. Sabina Church in Chicago) and Phil Andrew, the leader of the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Violence Prevention Initiatives. Mr. Andrew recently retired from the FBI after 20+ years of service, and he is a survivor of gun violence himself stemming from a 1988 incident in Winnetka. The discussion will be moderated by Marcus Campbell, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent/Principal at Evanston Township High School, who also interviewed author Ta-Nehisi Coates for FAN last October.
