On July 17, Breakthrough Visuals was honored to once again to work with Philadelphia Ceasefire, a community organization that works to decrease incidents of gun violence in the city of Philadelphia. This time, we captured a meeting called We Are One, which featured presentations on the progress that’s been made over the past year.
Speakers at the meeting included State Senator Art Haywood and Cobe Williams, co-author, along with Josh Gryniewicz, of Interrupting Violence. The book, a USA Today bestseller, recounts Cobe’s journey from Chicago gang member to leading anti-violence advocate. It’s a really incredible story of a man who manages against great odds to turn his life around, and then dedicates it to helping others do the same.
Our work with Philadelphia Ceasefire over the past couple of years has been some of the most moving and rewarding we’ve done, and we’re grateful to be a part of such an important mission.
