The Institute for Nonviolence Chicago's mission is to end the cycle of violence in Chicago by making Dr. King’s principles, practices, and teachings of nonviolence a part of our daily lives. It works through conflict mediation, victim advocacy, case management, nonviolence training, and community organizing. These methods help work to reduce shootings, guide people involved in violence through their journey away from it, empower and nurture communities in the aftermath of violence, and mediate positive interactions between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Its approach to ending violence is hyper-local, restorative, trauma-informed, and rooted in principles of nonviolence.
