Even as the City of Philadelphia leaders and residents come to grips with the fact that we’ve had more than 505 people murdered in 2022 as of December 23rd, we still must look to the future with hope. Surely if we don’t have hope and if we don’t have faith, the only thing we can do is sink. I believe in the power of prayer, and prayer is a very good thing. However, faith without works is dead.
That’s why I’m always encouraged when I learn about organizations that I perhaps had not heard of before that are trying to do their best to help make a difference in terms of bringing the number of violent crimes down.
The organization I’m excited to share information about in today’s column is, The Action for Justice Collective of the Northwest section of Philadelphia. The Action for Justice Collective is actually a nationally recognized gun diversion program.
