South, West Side Teens Pitch Social Media Campaigns To Stop Gun Violence: ‘It’s Not OK’

Teens from Chicago's South and West sides participated in an anti-gun violence social media campaign pitch event organized by Project Unloaded and Havas. The six-week program educated students on gun violence, with participants sharing personal experiences and proposing campaigns to address community safety. Last year's winning campaign reached 250,000 teens, and this year's entries focused on deterring violence at events like 'teen takeovers.'
