Chicago Blackhawks’ Post

Laureus Sport for Good Foundation USA (Laureus USA) has been recognized by the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Cubs, and Chicago White Sox through their Chicago Sports Alliance initiative to reduce gun violence. Funding will support Sport for Good Chicago, a coalition of more than 100 organizations working towards a Chicago where every young person has access to high quality, youth-centered sport programming in their neighborhood.   In a city where perpetrators and victims of violence are getting younger and younger, we need additional investment into innovative violence prevention efforts that reach kids before it's too late. Sports-based youth development is perfectly positioned to interrupt this cycle of trauma and violence. Through sport, young people have the opportunity to make connections with friends and caring adults who help them build skills in support of their overall physical and mental well-being. Sport creates space for young people to experience empowerment, healing, and collective joy in the face of overwhelming stress and trauma. I'm reminded of an insightful conversation that I had with LaVonte Stewart, MPA nearly a decade ago. He told me that every kid needs community and will find it somewhere. The question is whether they will find it through a positive team (such as his Lost Boyz Inc program), or a harmful team (such as a street organization). The problem -- too many kids don't have that positive option available to them. Through this investment, Chicago Sports Alliance has made sure that more young people will have the opportunity to choose the positive team.

The fear of gun crime in American schools is being weaponised. We investigate the hoax school-shooting epidemic. Click here to see the hidden costs of gun violence in American schools over a typical month: https://econ.st/3QZYLk7

The problem of American gun violence, especially as it relates to schools, is a global outlier. America has millions more guns than people, gun violence is the #1 cause of child death, and 2021 set a record of nearly 50,000 Americans killed by gun violence. The proposed solution? Bulletproof backpacks, bleed control kits, and ALICE training; all market solutions to the systemic problems caused by the proliferation of guns & gun violence in America. None of this is adequate to tackle The Uniquely American Problem of Gun Violence.

In 2022, nearly 27,000 lives were tragically lost to suicide using firearms. Self-directed gun violence is fueling our nation’s suicide epidemic. We #WearOrange to reduce and prevent suicide. Learn more about NAMI's policy positions on gun violence: nami.org/GunViolence

The myth that mentally ill people are inherently violent is harmful stigma - the data shows most gun deaths are actually self-directed violence (suicide). And because federal funding for research on this public health crisis has been restricted for decades, we've been left in the dark about what inherently drives gun violence and how to prevent it through evidence-based solutions. From what I understand, by prioritizing this as a public health crisis through funding a scientific study, we can better understand how to save lives. #mentalhealthawareness #gunviolenceawareness

Domestic violence and firearms are a lethal combination. In 2022, 57 people lost their lives to domestic violence in Illinois. Of those 57 deaths, 49% occurred with a firearm.
