About us
Everything the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago does is focused on ending the cycle of gun violence. We work in areas of Chicago where gun violence is highest, and we deploy evidence-based strategies that have worked in Boston, New York, L.A., and other cities. We aim to help individuals who are most likely to carry a gun or get shot lead lives of nonviolence, foster healing, and actively promote peace. Our robust continuum of care is designed to help participants regulate emotions, restore mental health, and obtain living-wage jobs in the legal economy. Dr. King’s vision guides our hearts, and his teachings inform our efforts. Practicing King’s philosophy provides us with the tools to earn trust and calm conflict. It offers Chicago a courageous approach to healing by addressing trauma at its root causes. This affords us the opportunity to build a sustainable peace, rather than shift the violence to another neighborhood or to the prison system.

Tavares has a message for those who have not yet chosen peace over violence. “Before you pick up that gun…think about your family and all the possible things you may lose...I’m not willing to risk it all because of my kids. I’m not going to leave them by themselves and have someone else raise them…Think about your family. Think about who you’ll be leaving, possibly losing, and never see again.” Is it worth it? Choose Peace.
