Does your family hold the keys to addressing gun violence in Chicago? During this segment of The Path Forward, a local group shares with NBC 5 s LeeAnn Trotter a list of recommendations for households who want to make a change.
Pastor Rich Redmond, who heads up MEG or Media Editing Group, and his team came up with seven easy steps for families to address the problem of gun violence, an issue that seems to disproportionately impact Black and brown communities. See the steps below.
CHICAGO (WLS) ABC 7, Chicago s Number One station for news, presented a virtual town hall offering Chicago area faith leaders behind the Media Editing Group, MEG, a platform to highlight their Family Value anti-violence campaign. In his new role as ABC 7 s race and culture reporter, Will Jones moderated this virtual event, OUR CHICAGO: VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY available on abc7chicago.com Thursday, January 14 at 2:00 PM. See Something, Say Something and Put the Guns Down, are excellent suggestions that encourage community participation. And The Media Editing Group (MEG) supports them both. But, MEG wanted to do more by making all families the central focus of its Family Value initiative, which kicked off with public service announcements last month.

The family of Dwain Williams, a former Chicago Fire Department lieutenant, has publicly expressed what so many families are feeling.
“I’m very disheartened that this was essentially a baby that has I don’t even know if they understand the repercussion their actions have caused,” Williams’ daughter Dakeeda Williams-Barton told the Chicago Tribune.
