January saw its highest death toll from gun violence since 2000<\/a>\u00a0in Chicago this year. There have been over 416 shootings in 2016 to date, 32 of them over this past weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The numbers highlight the deep roots of gun violence in Chicago and the city\u2019s inability to combat\u00a0the problem.<\/p>\n

While overall crime has decreased more than 37 percent since 2011, according to the Chicago Police Department<\/a> at year\u2019s end, shootings rose in 2015, and certain Chicago neighborhoods bear the brunt of gun violence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Raymond McDonald, 22, grew up in the Cabrini-Green rowhouses on the Near North Side. Gun violence has affected his life, \u201cdefinitely…indefinitely,\u201d he said. Just last summer, unknown assailants shot up the basketball court where he and some friends were playing. His brother was hit but survived, but many others don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Chicago communities suffer murder rates equal to Central American cities,\u201d said Stephen Franklin, the Community and Ethnic Media manager at Public Narrative and a journalist who has covered and researched violence in Chicago for years. \u201cPoverty and racial isolation are the major reasons, and these situations are greater [here] than in any other major city.\u201d<\/p>\n

With no foreseeable end to the violence around them, some community members like Tamar Manasseh have taken matters into their own hands.<\/p>\n

Manasseh founded the grassroots organization Mothers Against Senseless Killing (MASK)<\/a> after the shooting death of a teenage girl her daughter\u2019s age. “The same way that this could happen to this really good kid, it could happen to my really good kid,\u201d Manasseh said. \u201cI can\u2019t live in a world where something happens to one of my kids, and I just sat back and let it happen.”<\/p>\n

MASK made waves last summer when the ever-growing coalition of mothers and others set up shop on a corner in Englewood to discourage retaliation against a recent murder there. When their tactics appeared to work, they decided to stay, remaining on the block\u00a0for 66 consecutive days. The group built ties in the neighborhood, hosting cookouts and bringing positive press.<\/p>\n

Manasseh maintains it was a concerted effort, and that community pride had a lot to do with the initiative’s success. “They wanted the world to see us as who we are \u2013 as people, as human beings \u2013 not as these animals that the media sometimes portrays us as,” she said.<\/p>\n

Her frustration with the media is nowhere more apparent than in her criticism of Spike Lee and his recent film, \u201cChiraq,\u201d in which women in Chicago withhold sex in an effort\u00a0to stop\u00a0gang violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no real sensitivity in it,\u201d Manasseh said. \u201cHe tried to make that story fit Chicago…instead of writing a story for Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

All summer long, Manasseh and\u00a0MASK were camped\u00a0a mile away from Lee’s film crew, her 17-year-old son barbecuing for the community and her\u00a019-year-old daughter \u201cmakin\u2019 resumes for the boys on the block,\u201d Manasseh\u00a0said. \u201cAnd you mean to tell me if I were to have closed my vagina, that’s the only way that violence stops? No… It\u2019s a group of mothers sitting out on a corner. And for you to say that that had something to do with sex at all… How dare you?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just Hollywood that gets\u00a0it wrong. \u201cToday’s coverage of black violence tends to blame the victims and continually ignore the long range problems and solutions,\u201d Franklin\u00a0said. \u201cThis would not happen if crime took place on the same level in wealthier white communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Compounding the problem is distrust. The Laquan McDonald video has put even more strain on an already troubled\u00a0relationship between police and low-income minority communities.<\/p>\n

Raymond McDonald said he will never trust a system founded in racial oppression. Even if there are good cops out there he sees them as guilty by association, similar to how police see gang bangers, he added.<\/p>\n

Fed up with the stalemate and slow, contested progress, Manasseh and MASK took a less conventional approach to the problem.<\/p>\n

“We can\u2019t keep doing the same things over and over again expecting different results,\u201d Manasseh said.<\/p>\n

And building bridges within the community is a big part of that plan. Manasseh maintains that demonstrating against gang bangers and drug dealers in the neighborhood isn\u2019t the way to achieve results.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to build relationships with them\u201d Manasseh\u00a0said. \u201cYou have to treat them with the same love that you would treat your children.” She\u00a0acknowledges and respects the inherent difficulty in this philosophy but added, \u201cIf you treat them the way the rest of the world treats them, they will behave that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chicago police have initiated an administrative shakeup, renewed\u00a0minority recruitment and new training programs, but only time will tell if they are successful.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Manasseh is focused on redoubling MASK’s efforts for the months ahead. \u201cWhile there is violence now,” she\u00a0said, “there will be so much more in the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
