"Community-Led Solutions for Youth Gun Violence and Gun Reform in Pennsylvania"

Gun violence continues to threaten the lives of youth in Pennsylvania, with many turning to firearms out of fear and a desire for protection. Local organizations like the Bench Mark Program and Work to Ride are providing safe spaces and activities for at-risk youth, aiming to steer them away from violence. Social media plays a significant role in fueling this culture of violence, and community members are stepping up to address the issue as political leaders remain at a stalemate.
