Arne Duncan, a managing partner at Emerson Collective, a former U.S. Secretary of Education, and founder of Chicago CRED, recently authored an opinion piece in The New York Times highlighting the urgent need to address the root causes of gun violence rather than relying solely on punitive measures. Chicago CRED is dedicated to reducing gun violence by engaging individuals at the highest risk and providing them with life coaching, education, workforce development, and employment opportunities. The Foundation is proud to support this critical work through the WMG/BFF Social Justice Fund, helping to advance healing, safety, and opportunity in communities most affected by violence.
