Prevention B oys & Girls Club CEO encourages local leaders and government officials to revisit 15-point violent prevention plan to address uptick in violence in the city.
In 2016, the City of Madison voted to unanimously support the 15-point plan after hundreds of residents participated in town hall meetings, focus groups to address the violence that was happening in the city.
“As a Chicago native and moving to Madison I saw how Madison was changing and warned our community over the years that we would get to this point. These proposed ideas have already been vetted and included feedback from young people, hundreds of community residents, victims of violent crimes, formerly incarcerated individuals and leaders from across Dane County. Now we need to execute. Revisit this plan - the time to act is NOW,” said Michael Johnson, Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County CEO.
