A new gun violence prevention initiative in Northwest Philly is cleaning over 300 city blocks this summer.

Safe Steps Northwest is a collaboration between State Sen. Art Haywood, Mount Airy CDC, Germantown United CDC, and street cleanup business Glitter.

“We also want people to know what’s happening, to get connected and to work with their neighbors for long term sustainable solutions. There’s project manager in charge of making sure that neighbors are engaged in each block,” said Philip Dawson, executive director of Mount Airy CDC. “It’s not just the Glitter program doing the work . And as neighbors join in ... improves the neighborhood fabric. And so this community engagement piece is critical,” he said.
