New York Mayor Eric Adams lent his support for Ballin' 4 Peace and the 1st Annual Catalyst Youth Summit and Awards in Brooklyn as the Keynote Speaker, with Mayor Adams echoing the importance of stopping gun violence and creating safe programs for youth in New York City.

Gun violence is a past and present problem across the United States that deserves full attention and thanks to some advanced technology and the support of U.S. Representatives like Adriano Espaillat from New York, the country could possess a brighter future with a proper solution.
