#WWConverge

The Chino Y Chicano podcast marks its 100th episode as it joins the Converge Media program line up. Converge Media is a leading producer of culturally relevant content in the Pacific Northwest. On this 100th episode, we focus on the disturbing increase in gun violence in Seattle with Marty Jackson. Jackson is the executive director of the Southeast Network Safety Program, a violence prevention and youth empowerment initiative of the King County Boys and Girls Club. She also heads up the the Southeast Network’s Safe Passage team that works directly with the community to reduce violence. On July 28, members of the team found themselves caught in the crossfire of two shooters near the Safeway parking lot in the Rainier Beach Area. Five people were injured in the shooting. Marty Jackson joins the Chino Y Chicano to talk about the incident, the impact on the Safe Passage team, and rise of gun violence in Seattle.
