Save our Streets Crown Heights Addresses Shootings 2NITE!

The Crown Heights Community Mediation Center is spearheading an anti-gun violence initiative in the neighborhood called S.O.S. – Save Our Streets.

They held a meeting last week regarding the recent shooting on Eastern Parkway and Schenectady, and there will be a meeting TONIGHT about the recent shooting that happened on Franklin Ave and Park Place.

By way of background, S.O.S. is a neighborhood based movement to end shootings and killings. Working with the community, highly trained workers:
•Provide immediate interventions whenever a shooting occurs.
•Reach out to the victims, friends and family members.
•Work to ensure that retaliatory shootings do not take place.
•Create a community network of residents, clergy and business owners.
