Neighborhood organizations throughout San Antonio are deciding to join forces to combat gun violence.
It looks at 35 areas that aid public health responses to violence, including firearm regulation and crime reporting, as well as employment and health programs.“We want to score better than a 16 out of 100. We know there are a lot of initiatives that work. I know that our city is unique. That will require specific different initiatives that work for our town,” CEO of Rise and Recovery Evita Morin said.
San Antonio could raise its score by implementing public health strategies like addressing housing & food insecurity and increasing education about guns and mental health.“The challenge right now is everybody speaking from their box. And that’s great and great partners are here and great people doing great work. But the truth is, we need to unite and have one voice in the city and that’s to advocate for the safety of our children,” Hernandez said.
The next meeting has not been scheduled yet, but they plan to look at best practices for violence prevention, possible funding and work with the mayor on forming an Office of Violence Prevention.
