This much anticipated report, prepared by Rush, compiles the recommendations made by summit participants and offers analysis of their findings. As promised, it will be mailed to each participant for their review.

We are inviting young people and adults to spend time engaging in meaningful dialogue.
Additional discovery is necessary.
Troubled homes and streets need to be visited in order to learn what is truly taking place on the streets. Leadership must stay involved and committed to collective work and empowerment. Rapid Response Teams need to be created. Teams of volunteers need to be trained and then dispatched into troubled neighborhoods to offer support and organizational training to the residents. The summit s African American leadership is working hard to implement these suggested solutions.
