One violence interrupter was shot but thankfully survived. <a href="https://abc7ny.com/violence-interrupter-shooting-brownsville-brooklyn/12921607/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abc7ny.com/violence-interrupte</span><span class="invisible">r-shooting-brownsville-brooklyn/12921607/</span></a> I think I mentioned this program in <a href="https://blacktwitter.io/tags/1MExperiments" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1MExperiments</span></a>, nice to see it is still going. It is a great example of what it takes to re-imagine what safety can mean for each neighborhood. What does your neighborhood need to be safe? Can you help create it? 5/5</p>

The neighborhood reaction is mostly positive and supportive. The NYT story was posted on 06/04 if you have access. 4/5</p>

They are a gun violence reduction group but many of them have community credibility. People listen to them. But at the same time the other members of Brownsville Safety Alliance have tables set up to give residents assistance with other issues. 3/5</p>

For 5 days several times a year the groups help keep the community safe. This program works with city support and the police have buy in. 2/5</p>
#Abolition #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #ReducingPoliceViolence #CommunityEmpowerment @BlackMastodon I ran across an article a few weeks ago and I knew I wanted to share the information with you. It was behind a NYT paywall but there’s an alternate link to the story. It’s about a part of Brooklyn that several times a year engages in a program of community groups policing the neighborhood. Brownsville In Violence Out was featured. https://www.essence.com/news/community-police-brownsville-brooklyn/ 1/5
