  • Supporting local law enforcement with federal tools and resources to help address summer violent crime;
  • Investing in evidence-based community violence interventions;
  • Expanding summer programming, employment opportunities, and other services and supports for teenagers and young adults; and
  • Helping formerly incarcerated individuals successfully reenter their communities 

The announcement outlines each of these strategic elements as a call to action to lawmakers to end the gun violence epidemic.
