The safest big city in America keeps getting safer.

[The TRIGGER Project #WeArePrevention @TheTRIGGERProj]

I’m 14 minutes our city will exercise surveillance over safety, detention over prevention. It cost our city roughly $600 to keep youth locked up/day. 104 youth were locked up 7/24-8/8. Imagine if those funds were given directly to family or community org to change circumstances?

Yes you read that right. This is a five-alarm crisis.

So many have questions about how kids could drown in the Harlem River. If you take a close look at Harlem River Park, you'd understand. We need the community to speak up. #alfabarrie #garrettwarren #harlem https://t.co/9jZELav5wH

Mr Penny immediately posted bail with $100k and has raised over $1mil

He has a right to counsel and his day in court

I only wonder how much Mr Neely could've raised for the food and water he asked for

NFL superstar QB Lamar Jackson fired his agent & hired his mom to negotiate his contract. He is now the highest paid QB after signing a $260M 5 yr deal. He avoided the 3% agent fee and gave the $7.8M to his mom. “Keep it in the family”

Tonight, in a highlight of my course on gun violence, @ColumbiaMSPH hosted @StreetCornerRes director Iesha Sekou + team & @really_renita, who reminded the students that to truly serve the public demands humility. “Let people tell you how THEY want to use your expertise.”

@AestheticWondry Some history. We work to foster relationships w/police to help change the narrative in Harlem. We also respond to & council families of those affected by gun violence in real time. It's easy to point fingers, instead of asking how to help. Color = brand pallet. Be blessed.
