INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) An Indianapolis City-County councilor hopes to curb crime through a series of youth summits.
La Keisha Jackson is a Democrat who represents District 14 on the far east side.
The district is bounded on the west by Post Road, on the east by Carroll Road, on the south by 21st Street and on the north by 46th Street.
Jackson said there is a lack of resources for young people in her area, and she’s working to change that, through the Far Eastside Youth Anti-Drugs and Gun Summit.
“I don’t think it’s up for them to figure this out; I think it’s up to us as a community, as a whole to help them. They need help,” said Jackson.
