Philadelphia Ceasefire, a violence intervention model that approaches the issue of gun violence as a public health issue (an effort started in Chicago as Ceasefire Chicago which has replicated into a network of sites now called Cure Violence), has obtained a 33ft Winnebago, “to serve as a mobile office as it rolls through the streets of North Philadelphia. The new Winnebago – wrapped in the message “Stop. Shooting.People.” – will travel through the neighborhoods of the 22nd and 39th Philadelphia Police Districts to engage residents in efforts designed to reduce shootings and homicides in those vulnerable areas.”
