Episode description

Gangs have a negative connotation associated with them. And given their association with violence and drugs, this is understandable and on many levels warranted. But is the primary problem really gangs? Or are gangs, violence and drugs just a symptom of the larger issues at play, such as poverty, underfunded and neglected communities and racial discrimination? Vidal Guzman is a former gang member in New York who was incarcerated for seven years. Now a community organizer, he joins the podcast to give an honest and unfiltered perspective on gang culture.
