June 9, 2023

“Saturday Night Lights is our signature youth violence prevention program,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our city and law enforcement partners have worked side-by-side with us to enhance and expand access to free, high-quality sports for our young people – knowing that, particularly as we enter the summer months, it is more important than ever to have safe spaces for them to play, learn, and connect. This showcase highlights what we’re all about: bringing together stakeholders from every part of the city to support our young people and provide them with opportunities for growth. Thank you to Basketball City for hosting us, and most of all, to all of our participants!”

“Courtney Bennett is a wonderful addition to the District Attorney’s Office,” said District Attorney Bragg. “As a Harlemite, Courtney has a deep understanding of the community’s rich history and needs. His wide-ranging experience, from teaching to non-profit work, and focus on anti-violence initiatives, makes him an asset and resource that Harlem takes pride in and reflects his commitment to ensuring Manhattan is a safer and fairer borough. I look forward to working with Courtney and can’t wait for the rest of the neighborhood to do the same.”
