Podcasts about Advance Peace

Our guest today is Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America—the largest grassroots movement in the country. Back in 2012, Shannon began her career in activism when she posted a call to action on Facebook to end gun violence, in response to the horrors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Her message was met with an overwhelming response, and soon after, the mother of five and former communications executive founded Moms Demand Action. Although Shannon stepped down as the founder in 2023, she continues to work to mobilize massive change on the boards of Emerge America—an organization dedicated to recruiting and training women to run for office—and Advance Peace—a community-based organization focused on ending gun violence. And now, she's joining us right ahead of the launch of her second book, Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age. Her inspiring story includes:completing her education while battling undiagnosed ADHD.unexpectedly becoming the leader of the largest grassroots movement in the countrytaking on the gun lobby and facing frightening pushback.avoiding the trap of “founders' syndrome.”and what it means to live a life that's on fire.On Sali: Argent Copain Blazer and Maybelle Pocket TeeOn Shannon: Argent Tuxedo Blazer, Stretch Blouse, and Cropped Straight Leg Trouser Work Friends Credits:Hosted by Sali Christeson @salichristesonProduced by Gina Marinelli @ginaalilbitEdited by Ryan WoldoffTheme Song by Karina DePiano @sheplaysdepiano & Melanie Nyema @melanienyemaRecorded at Podstream Studio @podstreamstudioWork Friends is produced by ARGENT (www.argentwork.com), a women's clothing label on a mission to redefine workwear and drive forward women's progress.

While gun violence has increased in most cities, Richmond, California, has seen a marked decrease in the last decade thanks to an organization that works with the people most likely to be the victims of gun violence: the shooters themselves. Guest host Dr. Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, talks with DeVone Boggan, founder, and CEO of Advance Peace. They discuss how the organization's fellowship system engages young people involved in lethal firearm offenses, approaches to violence that center wellbeing, and how investment in programs like these translates not only to saving millions of public dollars, but truly disrupting cycles of violence.

As part of our "Forbes Minute" series, spotlighting thought-provoking Forbes videos and their key takeaways, Dr. Westover explores Kourtney Whitehead's recent Forbes video, "Mayor Tubbs: The Most Effective Act Of Leadership Is Listening." See the video and details here: https://youtu.be/8DEiT-BPMv0. Video Overview: "At 27, Stockton, CA's Michael Tubbs is the city's youngest-ever and first African-American mayor. 'What was the point of going to Stanford if it wasn't for making my community better?'" On November 8, 2016, Michael Tubbs was elected to serve as the mayor of the City of Stockton, California. Upon taking office in January 2017, Tubbs became both Stockton's youngest mayor and the city's first African-American mayor. Tubbs is also the youngest mayor in the history of the country representing a city with a population of more than 100,000 residents. In his first year as mayor, Tubbs secured $20 million to launch Stockton Scholars, a place-based scholarship that aims to triple the number of Stockton students entering and graduating from college. Tubbs also brought Advance Peace to Stockton — that data-driven program works to reduce gun violence in communities. And in an innovative public-private partnership supported by a $1 million grant, Tubbs launched the nation's first ever mayor-led guaranteed income pilot. Before becoming mayor, Tubbs served as Stockton's District 6 City Councilmember. As a councilmember, Tubbs created the Reinvent South Stockton Coalition, championed the creation of the city's Office of Violence Prevention and was part of the council that led the city out of bankruptcy as Chair of the Audit and Legislative Committee. Mayor Tubbs earned his bachelor's degree at Stanford University, and also received a master's degree in Policy, Organization and Leadership Studies from Stanford's Graduate School of Education. Tubbs has been a college course instructor for Aspire Public Schools and a Fellow at the Stanford Institute of Design and the Emerson Collective.

If you're the recent victim of theft in the Clovis area, you may want to contact Clovis PD after they've busted a group of 5 responsible for local crimes and have confiscated stolen property. As shootings continue in the Fresno area, the controversial program Advance Peace says that its still a year out from services in the area. A small win for 2020 as a live Murder Hornet has caught alive in WA and the WSDA has a plan to get rid of the hive.

Buckle up for a wild one. The nation is rethinking public safety, with major cities taking steps to defund the cops and Minneapolis dismantling its police department in earnest. So what's happening in California? On Wednesday, Sacramento City Council held a maddening emergency meeting, taking obvious measures to minimize and marginalize voices from the public and ultimately ending the session with milquetoast police 'reforms' that will simply not make the Sacramento Police Department any less violent or irresponsible. The meeting began with police chief Daniel Hahn telling a story of a ~very dangerous~ Sacramento, and council members bandying about terms like "gang violence." Then, when the head of Advance Peace--a proven community initiative geared toward giving at-risk children and young adults outlets that will turn them away from cyclical and retaliatory gun violence--council members Angelique Ashby and Larry Carr went on the offensive. They want more cops and fewer proven grassroots programs, you see. It was all downhill from there, with council members extolling the virtues of the long-debunked #8cantwait initiative, the Sacramento Community Police Review Commission chair expressing his frustrations with a non-responsive city hall and, finally, the council resolving to create a toothless inspector general position for the purpose of "public safety accountability." No consideration whatsoever toward defunding the cops. We try to keep our show around an hour, but sometimes it just strikes us that we need to dedicate more time toward a topic (see our episode with Conrad Crump as an example).

The Fresno City Council voted Tuesday to approve its billion dollar budget , just in time for the July 1 deadline. However, it will have to be reconsidered in three months. Fresno Mayor Lee Brand proposed the council pass a continuing resolution that would keep city expenses at the same level as last year, at least for 90 days. But the city council still asked that certain community demands be honored. “When the mayor came forward about a month ago with a doom and gloom budget, he also asked us to be a rubber stamp and the council said no,” said Council President Miguel Arias. Throughout the budget hearings, councilmembers insisted on having park employees, not police, handle graffiti. Residents demanded the council allocate $300 thousand dollars for Advance Peace, a gun violence prevention program. Both resolutions passed , along with the continuing resolution. However, the council is also hoping to use federal funds to balance its budget in three months. “If our best hopes of using

Jim Grant opens this program with a recap of #102 (Advance Peace) and #103 (Public Safety), and some thoughts on the pandemic.

In this podcast, Dan Runde is joined by Ambassador James Michel, a Senior Advisor to the Project on Prosperity and Development at CSIS and former chair of the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In January 2018, Ambassador Michel published a CSIS report, Managing Fragility and Promoting Resilience to Advance Peace, Security, and Sustainable Development. The OECD estimates that by 2035, 80 percent of extremely poor people will live in the 56 contexts identified as fragile in 2016. The United States and other development actors are going to be increasingly focused on these fragile contexts, and Ambassador Michel provides recommendations for each of their approaches. To hear more, check out the report launch.

Countries experiencing significant fragility, while amounting to about 20 percent of the world’s population, are projected to be home to 80 percent of the world’s extremely poor by 2035. Societies affected by poor governance, limited institutional capability, low social cohesion, and weak legitimacy tend to exhibit erosion of the social contract, diminished societal resilience, and low levels of economic and human development. Spillover effects of fragility include increased risks of armed conflicts, forced migration, spread of diseases, organized crime, and terrorism. Ambassador Michel’s report places these challenges to security and development posed by fragility in the context of centuries-long trends toward declining violence and increased prosperity and freedom.Please join us for the report launch and an expert-panel discussion on Managing Fragility and Promoting Resilience to Advance Peace, Security, and Sustainable Development.This event was made possible by general support to CSIS.
