➡ The governor of Chicago is investing between $100 and $275 million in private businesses to help reduce violence in the city. This comes after a surge in gun violence over the Fourth of July weekend, which resulted in numerous deaths and injuries. The funds will be used to support a program called Community Violence Intervention (CVI), which aims to decrease gun violence through life coaching, trauma treatment, education, and job training. However, there are concerns about where the money is going and how much will actually reach the communities in need.
➡ This weekend has been tough, but it strengthens our shared goal to improve. We need everyone’s help, not just the police. We need stricter laws, and judges and prosecutors to collaborate. There are many jobs available, so the influx of migrants is questioned. Please like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more updates.

I don’t always just want to talk about what’s happening bad in Chicago. I want to talk about the good that happens in Chicago also. Shay. Chi-town. Stand down. Did y’all know that the governor is investing somewhere between 100 and 275 million dollars in private businesses over in Chicago in order to curb violence? Let’s get into it. Pain and the suffering that the people of Chicago have endured over decades. These are not just numbers or headlines. These are real lives. Developing tonight a new investment to fight the ongoing gun violence in Chicago. It involves the city, state, local police and community groups.

WGNS Dana Rebek is joining us now with more details on this. Dana. Well all of these stakeholders say this is an urgent matter. Today we learned the death toll from the Fourth of July holiday violence continued to climb a 17-year-old young woman who was shot in North Lawndale on Friday has died. These political and business leaders coming together to announce a very large investment in an organization meant to curb gun violence. So one of the woman women that recently died we were giving updated numbers of what was happening was brutal of what was happening over the weekend in Chicago for the long holiday weekend and over a hundred people was shot and several people died actually it was more than 20 people that died now that another woman has succumbed to her injuries as a result of all of this violence that’s happening inside of the city and please miss me because I will never stop reporting on all of the nastiness that’s happening and I try to mix it in would have been of entertainment to make it light-hearted but the issues still remain in that people are still dying and succumb to their injuries because we won’t get our cities and we won’t hold our people accountable ultimately to make things safer and we keep depending on somebody to come and save us and you need to save yourself every life that’s lost is a tragedy even if it was only one let alone a hundred in one weekend that’s crazy meanwhile Mayor
