Founded at All Saints' Episcopal Church, CROSSwalk is an effort of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago to engage people of faith and community organizations in addressing the escalating violence against youth in Chicago.
CROSSwalk grew out of a four-mile procession across the city during the Christian Holy Week in April 2012. The procession brought together 1500 people from across Chicagoland to remember the more than 800 young people who have been killed since 2008.
As people of faith, we believe that these children are our children and we share responsibility for their safety. We are working to connect with faith communities and with organizations that address youth violence, building relationships which lead to action and change. Check back for upcoming events and opportunities.
If your faith community or organization is interested in partnering with us, or if you have questions, contact CROSSwalk.
