why philanthropy and the business community is not supporting these programs.

Good lord. Does nobody on his staff know about the data portal?

That tweet made me think it was a headline from the onion. I don’t even know where to start.

The public-private partnership model leaves public safety dependent on private goodwill. When donors lose interest, programs disappear. Violence prevention’s enemies are not just in the White House, they’re in the room signing checks with one hand and blocking taxes with the other.

Criticizing Trump for sending troops into cities and not addressing the economic inequality driving crime is one thing. But casting violence prevention as a smarter and less expensive alternative is tone deaf given that the Black/brown VP work force earns a fraction of what first responders earn.

Fantastic work!

Thanks! One more question, would it be state level prosecutors, or the local prosecutors (like a county level prosecutor)? Asking because Illinoisans are looking into very similar strategies.

Who or what is the enforcement mechanism/agency if someone gets caught violating this?
