Caring Causes: iHalt

One fast-growing community movement in Virginia, iHalt, is doing something about the conflicts between law enforcement and at-risk youth. In fact the founder of iHalt realized when these law enforcement tensions started last year that she had to find a way to counter the hostility toward police and put an end to the increasing lack of civility between the law and at-risk youth, and vice versa. 

 

Founded in 2015 in the wake of events in Ferguson, Baltimore and Cleveland (and perhaps even more relevant today), iHalt is striving to promote understanding, accountability and mutual respect with EMTs, police and firefighters.

 

Now, more than ever is the time to educate future generations of children about the cooperating with law enforcement, understanding and respecting cultural and racial differences, and maintaining  good citizenship.
