4 d. ago Community groups helped shield youth from gun crimes. US funding cuts have put them at risk again

Mississippi’s Operation Good engaged teens in a range of programs, protecting them from violence – but that work is now in jeopardyMost days, Fredrick Womack and his team can be found scattered throughout Jackson, Mississippi, talking to groups of young Black men and teens – whether they’re working, which bills need to be paid at home and if any brewing conflicts are at risk of turning violent.
