FEED DROP: Living For We

We’ve talked a lot about gun violence on Burn the Boats, and how many politicians have ignored common sense solutions. Lax firearm regulations have made guns more accessible than ever, and as a result, communities are suffering. Thankfully, grassroots leaders are taking a stand. Today I wanted to share an episode of Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up. The show highlights how these people are taking matters into their own hands in order to make their streets safer. Guests include organizers, therapists, formerly incarcerated, and everyday people living in these communities who want to reduce gun violence, and tackle the systemic issues that play into it. This first episode features a conversation with two young men that led a life of crime, but are now trying to leave that all behind them. Please enjoy this episode of Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up.
