The University of Chicago Crime Lab on May 9 launched the Community Safety Leadership Academies, which will offer first-of-their kind programs to train the next generation of policing and community violence intervention leaders from across America.

Over the next few weeks, the City of Chicago is accepting applications to one of the most ambitious guaranteed income programs in the United States.

Hosted by the Organization of Black Students (OBS) in partnership with the Harris School of Public Policy, the in-person and livestreamed 90-minute event featured the lecture, a discussion led by OBS Political Chair Jordyn Varise, and a Q&A session.
