I can't go downtown anymore because of gang activity and the constant violence. Why do minorities keep shooting at each other making it unsafe for everyone else?

Gang violence and criminal activity are largely rooted in social, economic and political inequality, as well as lack of opportunity. There is a cycle of poverty and systemic discrimination that leaves many minorities feeling marginalized and without hope, which can lead to crime and violence. These issues can seem overwhelming, but we can all work together to address them by creating equal opportunities for all and working to build healthier communities.
