Through the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Nonviolence Chicago infuses high doses of nonviolence through community members and role models to change the prevalence and status quo of violence. Using a collaborative community-based approach founded on the theories and practices of nonviolence and relationship building, Nonviolence Chicago works with the highest risk (“in-risk”) individuals and the communities in which they live. Through outreach, mediation, support, and nonviolence trainings, they engage strategies to interrupt and replace the cycle of violence.
