Homicide is a Public Health Crisis… and some cities are showing it can be reduced.

Violence isn’t just a law enforcement issue—it has a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of entire communities. Trauma, stress, and loss affect families, neighborhoods, and overall public health.

Some leaders are taking this seriously and getting results:
• Chicago – Mayor Brandon Johnson: Homicides down 33% in the first half of 2025
• Baltimore – Mayor Brandon Scott: Homicides at a 50-year low, down 23% from last year
• Birmingham – Mayor Randall Woodfin: Homicides dropped 52%, with an 81% clearance rate
• Jackson – Mayor Chokwe Lumumba: Homicides reduced by 50%, shootings cut in half

How can we continue to make a difference? By treating violence like a health issue:
• Investing in community programs and youth support
• Expanding mental health resources
• Strengthening trust and collaboration between residents and local authorities

These approaches show that preventing homicide isn’t just about enforcement—it’s about prevention, community care, and health equity.

📣 Takeaway: When we address the root causes of violence, we don’t just reduce crime—we improve public health and save lives.

Four Black mayors. Record-breaking crime reductions. Zero national headlines. Let me fix that and put y’all on. ✊🏾Chicago’s Brandon Johnson: Homicides down **33%** in first half of 2025 - lowest in over a decade ✊🏾 Baltimore’s Brandon Scott: **50-year low** in homicides, down 23% fro...

💪 Nutrition & Chronic Pain Relief 🥑

Did you know that anti-inflammatory foods can help manage chronic pain? By reducing inflammation in your body through your diet, we can ease discomfort and improve mobility.
