This video introduces Street Action Network! Co-Directors Basaime Spate and Javonte Alexander share their cutting-edge approach to address gun violence in the communities that face the highest rates of gun violence. Led by a team with lived experience and high social capital in the streets, Street Action Network will build on the research approach from our 2023 report "Two Battlefields: Opps, Cops, and NYC Youth Gun Culture," to combine rigorous research, community action, and policy change to engage and support people who are involved in gangs and street economy. The goal, as Spate says, "is to give opportunity, educate, and save lives."
