Posted on by

In the last of our Riot Fest 2023 content, Keefy caught up with Dr. Monique Williams and Cobe Williams of Cure Violence! Amidst the Rock and revelry of the festival CVG’s mission is so very needed to be heard in cites like Chicago, New York, and elsewhere with strategies to help rise above over cycles of unending violence. We were honored to spend some time with these paradigm shifters and game-changers of culture.

FESTIVAL REVIEW: Riot Fest 2023 Live at Douglas Park

 

The Cure Violence Approach:
CVG’s violence prevention public health methodology applies evidence-based public health epidemic-reversal strategies to:

  1. Detect and interrupt (i.e., prevent) potentially violent situations,
  2. Identify and change the thinking and behavior of the highest risk transmitters (i.e., those most likely to engage in violence), and
  3. Change group norms that support and perpetuate the use of violence.
