NUF Said: Youth Perspectives on Violence


Filed Under: Leadership Council

As participants of the NUF Said project (nuf-said.org), Leadership Council members created videos around the topic of crime & violence. In this video, Chain of Change Youth Leadership Council member Lynda Lopez asks local youth about their experiences with violence in Chicago. Youth share their definitions, personal stories, and solutions to the violence.

Hi, I want to say save our Librarians’ jobs not just our Libraries.  Their expertise is imartopnt.  Say No to turning it into a voluntary community; why should our labour be free?  Do the Banks use volunteers?  Does Parliament function on volunteers? No! So keep our Libraries as they are and make the Council find other ways to save money.  Libraries bring communities together in many ways.  They stop people feeling isolated; children get to experience Books and Art which they can’t always get at home.  People go there to read the papers.  Those without open spaces can enjoy The Turrill gardens at the back of the Library.  Perhaps we could have a coffee shop to help support it. Please see the bigger picture, our Library helps everyone.Best wishes,Kate
