Progressive Chicago's Crime FIASCO: Mayor Hires Teens to Stop Shootings
About this episode
The episode discusses Mayor Brandon Johnson's initiative to hire teenagers as peacekeepers in Chicago to address violent crime.
While Chicago continues to grapple with violent crime, Mayor Brandon Johnson's latest solution involves a $900,000 executive order to hire teenagers as 'peacekeepers.' The new 'Peacebook' initiative will pay 50 young people, aged 16 to 24, to teach their peers conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques. The mayor claims this investment in 'Black and brown children' is the key to creating a safer city. Critics question whether this is a serious strategy to combat the city's deep-rooted issues or simply a progressive talking point. This report breaks down the details of Mayor Johnson's youth peacekeeping program and asks the tough questions about its potential for success in a city desperate for real answers to its public safety crisis.
