#CHICAGO Targets #DrugAddiction to Help Stop #Violence in #WestGarfieldPark https://bit.ly/334c0WV (link in bio) It was the #WestSide Chicago community No. 1 among all 77 in #murders per capita last year. This year, West Garfield Park moved up a little. It’s dropped to No. 3. Simultaneously, a part of that community known as the "Pulaski Corridor” retained the dubious record of highest number of #drugoverdoses citywide — mostly #heroin. This week, the neighborhood in the beleaguered Chicago Police #HarrisonDistrict (11th) — including West Garfield Park, #HumboldtPark, #NorthLawndale and #EastGarfieldPark — saw an unusual influx of city support. Extra police. City services. Aid for drug addicts. All was part of the city’s new Keeping Our Communities Safe Initiative launched on the West Side Sunday in a neighborhood desperately in need. “As part of the #summerviolence analysis that has been going on, the West Side contributes a significant number of #shootings and #homicides to the overall city numbers, and District 11 tends to have concentrated levels. So we looked deeper into that, and this #PulaskiCorridor emerged,” Deputy Mayor of Public Safety #SusanLee told the #SUNTIMES. What distinguishes this effort from others is we are looking at #overdoses and #violence as #publichealth issues .... " https://ift.tt/31bdHjB

Linda Gartz's memoir Redlined tells the story of one of the last white families in West Garfield Park. It also offers some insight into the blindness of neighborhood residents to racial discrimination and disinvestment. Gartz talk & book signing is @newberrylibrary 4/18 @6pm.

#CHICAGO — The police officer who shot and killed teenager #QuintonioLeGrier on the day after Christmas will sue LeGrier’s estate. Officer #RobertRialmo answered a domestic disturbance call in #WestGarfieldPark and wound up shooting LeGrier and a neighbor #BettieJones, he says, because LeGrier attacked him. Rialmo’s attorney Joel Brodsky confirmed for WGN-TV this morning that he’ll file a civil suit against LeGrier’s estate in a couple of weeks, citing emotional distress and assault. LeGrier’s family says there was no justification for shooting 18-year-old LeGrier multiple times.
