The Pullup4Peace Conference reminded us that lasting public safety is built through partnership, lived experience, and bold leadership.
Our Executive Director, Dr. Lauren J. Footman, EdD was honored to join Darryl "Wolfie" Chambers from Center for Structural Equity, Cammerin Norwood from Our Roots Foundation, and Kaligah Parker from The Carry Their Light Project in conversations with regional and national leaders advancing community violence intervention. Together, they shared Delaware's work while learning from practitioners across the country, including leaders from the Center for Structural Equity, GVI Support & Outreach, and Leaders in Transition.
As Delaware continues to strengthen its statewide public-private approach to community violence intervention, opportunities like this allow us to exchange ideas, elevate promising practices, and bring innovative strategies back to our communities.
Thank you to everyone who made this gathering possible. Together, we are building safer communities through collaboration, accountability, and community-led solutions.
