AND now the violence has gone
cITYWIDE
so ... IS chicago'S violence SOLVABLE?
I love Chicago
It's a city that can do anything
it wants to do if it wants to do it.
- Mike Ditka, Autobiography (emphasis ours)
it's the digital age
Chicago's violence is solvable with a
public safety strategy
One that uses the power of Chicago's
Digital MEDIA
to inform, inspire and mobilize
ALL CHICAGOANS
to advance the
UNIVERSALLY
DESIRED GOAL
of
DIGITAL AGE
CITYWIDE
SAFETY
SO CHICAGO CAN BE
A CITY WHERE
-
You can go ANYWHERE without fearing for your life
-
Families and businesses are MOVING INTO the city. Not MOVING OUT
-
EVERYONE can visit, work, play, worship, walk to school and raise a family. SAFELY.
TECHNOLOGICALLY
Citywide Safety has long been
100% FEASIBLE
because Chicago has long
had in place ALL of the
digital media
tools it needs to empower all
Chicagoans to make Chicago SAFE
THE TOOLs?
They're the
Social | Online | Public
Community | Commercial
MEDIA
of Chicago's Digital Age
Public
Communication
System
We just haven't used
these tools effectively
YET
SO how can THESE TOOLS
MAKE CHICAGO safe?
they can
inform
inspire
and
mobilize
MOBILIZING POWER?
In 2013, 2 million media-mobilized Chicagolanders celebrated the Chicago Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory.
Now Chicago's media can mobilize 2.6 million Chicagoans to MAKE CHICAGO SAFE for all residents. PROFITABLY SO
OK, so in order to get the
Citywide Safety ball rolling,
get creative!
BEST WAY to reACH
ALL CHICAGOANS? THINK
tv sports
CHICAGOANS LOVE THEM.
SO our digital age approach
to PUBLIC SAFETY?
A GAME CHICAGO MUST WIN
A GAME THAT MUST EARN
AND MAINTAIN CITYWIDE
RESPECT AND TRUST
A GAME THAT CAN BE TELEVISED,
LIKE THESE TWO tv games:
1.
For CITY Leaders
A weekly three-minute
news feature
It's a game of
two chairs
Looks like NOTHING, right?
That's the point. But it's the
talk of the town. Overnight when
it airs on the evening news.
2.
for Youth/ADULT Leaders
A weekly 30- or 60-minute
TV program
It's the game of
four steps
The Wisdom of Young and Old
Chicago needs it to make itself safe.
And practical wisdom is what you see
on this weekly 30 minute TV show.
Summing up:
Here's Citywide Safety
FULLY REALIZED
in just 20 seconds:
oh, and one more thing. . .
NEXT AUGUSt
Chicago MUST be
SAFe
when it hosts the
Democratic National
Convention
because
The whole world
will be watching
If Chicago gets
its act together NOW,
it can show America and the world NEXT AUGUST how a WORLD CLASS CITY makes itself SAFE in the Digital Age.
THANKS FOR VISITING
Since 1990
Chicago Civic Media's
multimedia formats have
made Chicagoans and City Hall
responsive and accountable to each
other in addressing and resolving
the issues affecting the lives
of all Chicagoans.
sums up our work.
