“Southside institutions are uniting to research and tackle this problem. We’re identifying drug houses, nuisance properties, and crime hot spots. We’re pulling police records, investigating property owners and coordinating with public officials. We’re working to improve the relationship between the community and police, so people feel comfortable and confident to call the police when crimes occur. And preventatively, we are studying why crime happens in the first place: We need good jobs, diverse afterschool activities for youth and for companies to treat people right. We went public with our campaign in October 2025, with 847 people at Serb Hall. We announced this problem. Soon we will announce our solutions.”
