"This is about community has nothing to do with police. Police going to do what they do… We need caring community members to stand together," James said.'We need more help': Philadelphia groups given nearly $1 million in grants in fight against gun violence Identifying the problem was step one, then the focus shifted to what everyone is willing to do; understanding that people are afraid, but the people in this room are fully invested.
