#100DaysOfPeace - Shantel Patu, co-founder of Urban Family, shared her insights on the importance of community-based organizations in addressing youth violence during her interview with Trae Holiday on The Day With Trae at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. 

Patu emphasized the need for a holistic approach that involves not only working with young people but also supporting their families. "We kept seeing so much of the pain in the youth that we were serving from the pain in ourselves," she explained. "We wanted to replace that."

Patu's words are a powerful reminder that violence prevention is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted solution. By investing in community-based organizations like Urban Family, we can help to create a safer and more just future for all.
