It’s been eight years since the Chicago anti-violence group took to the streets to fight gang violence.
CeaseFire, which almost died when Gov. Rod Blagojevich cut funding in August, may be back in fighting shape soon.
The Illinois House recently passed a bill that would double the money that CeaseFire lost last summer. However, the Senate still needs to give the bill the OK.
Will CeaseFire be celebrating nine years in 2009? It’s up to Emil Jones.
In the meantime, CeaseFire is reaching out to the public for aid and donations.
