Urge The Federal Government To Restore Funding To Evidence-Based Anti-Gang Prevention Programs Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/urge-the-federal-government-to-restore-funding-to-evidence-based-anti-gang-prevention-programs.html Online petition signatures en-us Mon, 6 Apr 2026 03:13 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Chuck Tizya [Signature #92] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13108718?utm_medium=rss I live in a neighbourhood that was rife with gang activity. The funds you are intent on pulling from such programs are the cause of great improvement because my neighbourhood is now far safer to walk in as it was 2 years ago. It is not completely safe as yet but I realize it can be with the participation of such programs. If the funding is pulled then we will all end up back at square one. Why would you even consider such a move to begin with? It boggles my mind!!!!

That contravenes all logic and all evidence. It's like saying "We don't have money for safe roads (preventing crashes) but we're going to put more police officers on the highway to ticket wounded drivers."

This government's credibility is eroding VERY quickly!!

It's insane to cut funding to youth drop-in ctrs who engage young people in creative, exuberant activities preventing 'em from idleness, curiosity, boredom & alienation, to experiment in crime. Everyone who possibly can should set a standard for youth in empathy, firm moral principles, humor, patience...
