On today's episode, host Jenné Myers interviews Adam Alonso of BUILD Chicago, one of Chicago's leading gang intervention, violence prevention, and youth development organizations. Listen as Jenné and Adam discuss how BUILD is adapting its services to engage young people in the current health crisis – as well as what BUILD’s street outreach workers are seeing with the recent surge in violence in our city. "For the mom who just lost her eldest son, she's in no position to be in anything other than an utter state of shock and grief," Adam says. "So where we can pitch in and provide support for the family, that's what we do. That's the work. And with everything that's happened, it just feels that much heavier."
