Mr. Bocanegra described his own experiences of witnessing violence growing up and being formerly incarcerated, and how that frames his approach to community violence intervention. He also discussed different initiatives to address systemic violence that he has seen in Chicago and around the United States, and the hopeful future of community violence intervention programs around the country.
