Anti-violence Coalition Meets at Duquesne University

The Coalition Against Violence sponsored an event at Duquesne University to present strategies to reduce the violence that plagues many Pittsburgh communities. Coalition members say it takes more than just a few community groups to end the violence, and provided strategies that were developed over a year-long effort. They offered recommendations to various facets of the community, from faith-based groups to the media, to young athletes, on steps they can take to eliminate violence. Speakers say it will take a combined effort for this to be different from other non-violence rallies and meetings where there is much talk and little action.
