Episode description

A recent Temple study found that gun violence surged as the Covid-19 pandemic worsened poverty, unemployment, and structural racism. 

Documentarian and author Jo Piazza heard over and over again that a key part of driving down gun violence is increasing job opportunities for the men most likely to fall into the "illegal economy." On this episode of Philly Under Fire, Piazza looks at one organization that is trying to provide just those kinds of job opportunities.
