ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) A new program is being considered by the City of Rochester to try to get shooters to stop pulling the trigger. Advance Peace offers those who are likely to shoot or be shot a fellowship that includes monthly stipends and travel as a way to deter violence. Free the People ROC has been pushing for the City to consider bringing this program, or one like it to Rochester for months.
Advance Peace does not involve law enforcement. Mentors, men and women who’ve been involved in shootings themselves in the past, work to get current shooters on a different path.
