Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday announced the launch of Cycle Breakers, a community-led youth safety initiative "designed to disrupt cycles of violence" by teaching and encouraging conflict resolution, mentorship skills and other skills. The initiative will be undertaken in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Community Safety and the Chicago Department of Public Health and is part of the mayor's People’s Plan for Community Safety, "which leverages the full force of government to provide much-needed resources to the communities most impacted by poverty, crime, and disinvestment."
