The state announced grants to non-profit organizations to combat gun violence through the SNUG program. SNUG spells GUNS backwards and the program aims to curb gun violence and save lives by intervening in the aftermath of shootings to prevent retaliation, working with high-risk youths to connect them to services and programs, and other community engagement initiatives. Family Services of Westchester in Mount Vernon will receive $290,500 through the program. Yonkers YMCA will receive $355,820. Family Services Inc. of Poughkeepsie will get $305,100.

| Probably took the money from the insurance companies they raped with their fines. Remember those that supplied the insurance for the NRA. Probably had a party with the rest. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
