The Eastern PA Conference Urban Commission is engaged in an ongoing exploration of the crisis, causes and consequences of urban violence, a scourge that is worsening in Philadelphia and other cities. This two-hour mini-summit includes a focus on urban youth, since they are increasingly the victims of lethal violence in our cities—on both sides of the weapon.
A special highlight of this program will be presentation of "Our Philadelphia," a brief, powerful video documentary about grief and the aftermath of gun violence from the perspective of teenagers.
*Co-victims, or co-survivors, of homicide are persons who have lost a loved one to homicide, including family members and friends.
Another mini-summit is scheduled for Nov. 20, with details yet to be determined.
