Ponder Diversity Group stands united with the City of Chicago and Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) - O'Hare & Midway International Airports in the crucial mission to combat gun violence in Chicago and nationwide. This initiative not only prioritizes public safety but also underscores a moral obligation, especially for communities on the city’s south and west sides.

Urgent action is essential to address this pressing issue and its severe impact on Black and diverse communities. Efforts to tackle gun violence require holistic approaches encompassing prevention, intervention, enforcement, and community empowerment. These strategies aim to foster safe environments where everyone can flourish without the shadow of fear or harm. Commendations to Mayor Brandon Johnson, the City of Chicago, and CDA Commissioner Jamie Rhee for their unwavering commitment to the well-being and future of all Chicago communities by taking a firm stand to eliminate gun violence once and for all.⚫️ #endgunviolence #epidemic #cityofchicago #chicagodepartmentofaviation #CDA #publicsafety #moralimperative #socialjustice #systemicinequality #equity #communityempowerment
