Ron Scott is the spokesperson for Peace Zones for Life, an
organization which provides support to Detroit neighborhoods to create safe and
viable communities. They take a holistic
approach including residents of all ages, especially the youth, as well as
local businesses, religious and government institutions. Through the practice of Peace Circles,
residents are taught methods of conflict resolution, and intervention is taken
with youth who have or are at risk of engaging in violent behavior.
Citizens for Peace member Ann Abdoo will also talk about the
Youth PROMISE Act, that when passed by Congress will greatly help organizations
like Peace Zones for Life.
Scott is a well-known co-host on CW50 public affairs show,
