Together We Can Make A Difference

The Progressive Access Zone (PAZ) is based on the "Blueprint Execution Plan" created in September of 2021 to address the gun violence epidemic and systems set in place to destabilize the urban community.

PAZ is a comprehensive, bilingual/bicultural initiative designed to address and reduce violence within the North Philadelphia community. The program will aim to prevent various forms of violence, including physical, verbal, and psychological aggression, by targeting the root causes and risk factors associated with violent behavior.
