Advance Peace is a charitable organization based in Richmond, California, which administers a program with the goal of reducing gun violence in American urban neighborhoods. The program involves giving cash stipends to individuals identified as likely to commit violent crimes, but who police have not been able to arrest. The stipends are given to participants as a reward for their desisting from crime. The organization invests in the development, health, and wellbeing of those at the center of this crisis.[1] The size of the stipend varies for each participant depending on how successful they are in the program.[2]
