YOUNGSTOWN — A Community Solution Session focusing on the uptick in city violence will be Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Ohio Urban Renaissance Center, 421 North Ave.

The site is the former Buckeye Elks Youth Center. This event is open to the community.

A Livestream will be available on the Ohio Urban Renaissance Facebook page.

This is a solution-based conversation, organizers said in a news release. The goal is to allow community members to compose actionable steps, with no complaining allowed.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there is a maximum capacity of 35 people. Masks must be worn and social distancing will be strictly enforced.
