Last winter, we @teamtrace asked ourselves: What would the story of gun violence in Chicago be if we allowed survivors to lead the way? Today, we published a collection of personal essays — the culmination of that idea and more:

Chicago Shooting Survivors, In Their Own Words

We spent a year helping people who have experienced gun violence tell their stories. This collection is the result.
