Organizers from the Youth Shelter Program of Westchester say it's not just about raising awareness; it's about providing communities with real tools to break the cycle of violence.
"We are excited to bring this conference, and it's not about politics. It's about people, it's about community and it's about standing together to create solutions and really utilizing unlikely allies in this space," said Joanne Dunn, of the Youth Shelter Program of Westchester.
News 12's Tara Rosenblum, who just wrapped her investigative series "Under the Gun," will be among the featured speakers.
