About us
Everything the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago does is focused on ending the cycle of gun violence. We work in areas of Chicago where gun violence is highest, and we deploy evidence-based strategies that have worked in Boston, New York, L.A., and other cities. We aim to help individuals who are most likely to carry a gun or get shot lead lives of nonviolence, foster healing, and actively promote peace. Our robust continuum of care is designed to help participants regulate emotions, restore mental health, and obtain living-wage jobs in the legal economy. Dr. King’s vision guides our hearts, and his teachings inform our efforts. Practicing King’s philosophy provides us with the tools to earn trust and calm conflict. It offers Chicago a courageous approach to healing by addressing trauma at its root causes. This affords us the opportunity to build a sustainable peace, rather than shift the violence to another neighborhood or to the prison system.

This month in celebration of my seven-year work anniversary at the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago, I remember the lives of those taken too soon. This work is not for the weak and as I reflect, I’m grateful to have this opportunity to serve the community that raised me.

Our partner, Boeing , believes that if students have the necessities to excel in school, their ability to remain in the classroom and out of the streets amid the threat of gun violence increases. Earlier this month, employees rallied together to raise funds for book bags and school supplies, and Boeing matched their contributions! As a result, we were able to supply school necessities to over 500 students. Boeing volunteers helped stuff the bags with supplies and distribute them at a very special Back to School Light in the Night. Thank you, Boeing! #LiftoffForLearning #backtoschool #endgunviolence #choosepeace #TakeCareofEachOther #BelovedCommunity
