speaking of a trauma that leads us to this your office and Father Boyle of
Homeboy Industries, Homeboy Industries by the way for people that don’t know it’s
a gang intervention and reintegration organization you guys have teamed up
with director Robert Greenwald to screen a new documentary and it’s called
Healing Trauma: Beyond Gangs and Prisons. Tell us about that it’s an amazing film
I mean there’s a great filmmaker and as we know Father Boyle is famous for
saying nothing stops bullet like a job it’s really that we stopped violence by
giving people economic opportunity but this is about the trauma that people
carry that if we don’t cut that off we know that for instance on death row most
of those people have been victims of violence and seen domestic violence in
their homes that often times if you grow up with domestic violence in your
household gang violence in your neighborhood that’s what leads people to
the streets to being sometimes either the criminals or the victims of crime
and so this is how we can cut that jobs and things like building the subway
right now the airport things that you don’t necessarily need a college degree
or even a high school degree but showing the way forward to end that trauma once
and for all.
