Gun Violence Prevention/Reduction & Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Strategies, Organizational Structure & Capacity Building

The CVI Action Plan strives to save lives, reduce violence in Black and brown communities, and support CVI workers who have committed their livelihoods to ending violence. For the first time, stakeholders from every part of the CVI ecosystem came together to create a groundbreaking community-led vision for the field, set ambitious goals, and refine essential strategies. The result is a set of high-priority opportunities that will catalyze philanthropic and public investment for years to come. For the past year, leaders from Community Justice, the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI) and The National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR) served as coordinators for the report seeking input and guidance from the CVI field. In May 2024, leaders from the Community-based Public Safety Collective (CBPS Collective) and the Urban Peace Institute joined the coordinating committee. This report is the start of a framework to take action on existing and new work for the CVI field.
