Nearly two dozen violence prevention organizations in Louisiana stand to lose millions in federal funding as a result of recent Department of Justice grant cuts. These organizations include youth programs, substance abuse support, victim advocates, trauma care and more. Josie Alexander, senior Louisiana strategist at Equal Justice USA tells us how these organizations interface with violence prevention and what these cuts could mean.According to The Mississippi River Delta Transition Initiative, most of the sediment that's on its way to help rebuild the Mississippi River Delta is actually getting lost before it reaches the Gulf.

Send us a textIn Robeson County, North Carolina—home to some of the state's highest youth violence rates—community-led prevention efforts were working. Until they weren't.In this episode of Shoresides, host Nicolas Magrino speaks with Paul Smokowski, founding executive director of the North Carolina Youth Violence Prevention Center (NC-YVPC), and Leon Burden, lead violence interrupter and founder of the nonprofit Colors of Life. Together, they helped reduce violence in just a few years through a layered, evidence-based approach: school programs, restorative justice, parenting support, and community-based mentoring.But a sudden federal funding cut in April 2024 brought much of that work to a halt.Smukowski and Burden share how they built trust and impact in a county long marked by poverty, racial complexity, and criminal justice disparities—and what's at risk now. This is a story of what real community violence intervention looks like, and what happens when a political shift pulls the plug.Support the showwww.shoresides.org

Last year in North Carolina, there was a domestic-violence–related homicide every four days on average. In fact, such homicides have increased nearly 70% since 2018. We look at the root causes of domestic violence, its rise and what's being done to address it.

There is a rapist presiding over the United States. That rapist has directed his government to gut federal efforts to protect women from violence of all sorts. Health and Human Services fired nearly all of its staff at the Division of Violence Prevention. The office on violence against women has removed all funding opportunities from its website and reports are coming in that all of the grants it issues are being cancelled. Online, platforms owned by Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg–billionaires who support Trump and his regime–own giant social media platforms rife with digital violence against women and seemingly no efforts at all to curtail it. It is a dangerous time to be a woman. This has always been true, but it is especially true in Trump's America. Our guest for this episode is Alia Dastagir. Dastagir is an award-winning journalist and former reporter for USA Today who was one of eight U.S. recipients of the prestigious Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism. Her book on women and online abuse, “To Those Who Have Confused You to Be a Person: Words as Violence and Stories of Women's Resistance Online,” is now available.

It was the kind of email that hits like a gut punch. More than 350 community programs received a message from the Trump Justice Department: their funding was done. No warning. Just done. Millions of dollars slashed from efforts to stop gun violence, treat opioid addiction, and support victims of violent crime. The DOJ says the money no longer aligns with department priorities, but for programs like Oakland Youth Alive and the Baltimore Center for Hope, it's a death sentence. These frontline groups have helped reduce homicides by more than 30% in cities like Baltimore. And now, just before summer—when shootings typically spike—federal support is gone. This includes a $2 million grant pulled mid-cycle, hotlines shut down, violence interrupters laid off, and victims left with no resources. All while the Trump administration shifts its focus to law enforcement operations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Five people were shot in three different incidents in Columbia this weekend. A man was shot on Columbia's McGuire Boulevard during a Friday evening argument and suffered minor injuries. A man and woman were shot in Cosmo park late Saturday night during a large party, and two men were shot early Sunday morning in downtown Columbia, just blocks from CPD. Columbia's first-ever Office of Violence Prevention administrator D'Markus Thomas-Brown joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" this morning. Mr. Thomas-Brown tells listeners that we need community transformation. He says he's saddened by this weekend's violence, calling it tragic.

(Airdate 4/10/25) Wilford Pinkney Jr is Assistant Chief Executive Officer overseeing the Community Safety Implementation Team (formerly the Jail Closure Implementation Team) of Los Angeles County. He previously stood up and led the Office of Violence Prevention for the City of St. Louis. He has spent over 35 years working in the criminal justice system. On this podcast we look at the closure of Los Angeles Men's Central Jail - a plan the LA County Board of Supervisors approved in 2021, and which does not appear closer to fruition in 2025. What will it take to finally shutter this dangerous and horrendous facility?https://ceo.lacounty.gov/csit/

Surgeons often have to deal with the consequences of violent attacks - becoming all too familiar with patterns of public violence, and peaks around weekends, alcohol-infused events and occasions that bring together groups with conflicting ideals.Professor Jonathan Shepherd not only recognised the link between public violence and emergency hospital admissions, he actually did something about it. As a senior lecturer in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the early 1980s, Jonathan started looking into this trend - and his research revealed that most violent assaults resulting in emergency hospital treatment are not reported to police. As a result, he devised the ‘Cardiff Model for Violence Prevention': a programme where hospitals share data about admissions relating to violent attacks with local authorities. He also went on to study various aspects of violent assault and deliver evidence-based solutions - from alcohol restrictions in hotspots, to less breakable beer glasses in pubs. The impacts have been significant, delivering reductions in hospital admissions and in violent attacks recorded by police; not only in Cardiff, but in cities around the world where the model is used. Today, as an Emeritus Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Cardiff University - where he's also Director of their Crime, Security and Intelligence Innovation Institute - Jonathan continues to bring together the medical sector with local authorities, finding practical ways to make cities and their residents safer. But his career, straddling the worlds of practise, science and policy, is an unusual one; here he talks to Professor Jim Al-Khalili about what drove him to make a difference.Presentedby Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor

With Australia's commitment to end gender-based violence within a generation, yet concerning increases in sexual violence and domestic homicides, this timely discussion explores why traditional prevention strategies focused on changing social norms and attitudes have fallen short.Key points discussed include:The limitations of measuring prevention success through attitude surveys rather than actual reductions in violenceWhy structural interventions and accountability are essential alongside education effortsThe need to focus resources on high-risk scenarios and populations, particularly traumatized youthHow systems often fail to provide practical help when survivors, especially young people, disclose abuseThe importance of shifting from "calling out" to "calling in" approaches when addressing harmful behaviorsWhy prevention efforts must acknowledge the reality that most people have been impacted by violence rather than assuming a "clean slate"Related episodes:Season 2 Episode 12: How Coercive Control Harms Child Safety & Wellbeing: An Interview With Jess HillAdditional Resources:See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Abuse by Jess HillChildlight Research Centre - University of New South WalesJoin us in-person or online 18-20 March 2025 for the Safe & Together Institute Coercive Control and Children Conference.

363 Taking Inventory As the New Year begins it's time for us to take a step back and reflect on the stories, messages, and values we want to bring into 2025. Just like tending to a garden by removing weeds and adding nutrients, we must also tend to the garden of our lives.  In this episode Sarah Elkins, Emily McVey, and Chris Wang discuss the stories that shaped them into who they are as well as how they have chosen to tell their stories through thoughtful and meaningful actions.   Highlights What are the coping strategies you developed? What connects you to other people? Even if you've never seen them.  What skills did you develop from a chaotic situation that manifested into a valuable tool for you to use throughout life? What generational curses are you breaking? What situations will you never allow others to endure because you had to endure them? Remember to step back and look at the bigger picture, instead of viewing the situation through a lens or holding the subjects to a higher standard. What brings you peace and calm?   Quotes “If you play music, if you play an instrument, and you listen to the music, it's almost like you're having a dialogue with this person even though you've never seen them.” - Chris Wang “We are not doing this to our children.” -Emily McVey “There's the traditional definition of success which is more tied to- you know- maybe more defined by money and career and that kind of stuff, which I kind of pursued and did my share, but then I realized it's incomplete. I was still deeply unhappy.” -Chris Wang “Don't go out on the floor and ask the girls to work on their issues if you're not willing to work on your own.” -Emily McVey   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What inventory are you gonna take about what you ran from or what you're running toward? And who in your life needs to hear from you? That you believe in them and that you're there to support them and to help them move into whatever they're running toward. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Emily Emily has lived in Montana her whole life.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
