A new UC Berkeley study shows that gun violence reduction programs, such as Sacramento’s ‘Advance Peace,’ are working; we learn more today. California is also stepping up to help with India’s COVID-19 crisis and supplies are being airlifted to the stricken country, which has had a long relationship with the Golden State. Plus, the pandemic shut down Opera Modesto’s live performances, but its latest virtual concert, “The Race,” is winning awards worldwide.
Today's Guests
- Program Manager with Advance Peace Sacramento Julius Thibodeaux and Community Violence Initiative Director with the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence Paul Carrillo discuss a new UC Berkeley study showing that grassroots, community-based incentive programs are showing positive results in reducing gun violence in cities such as Sacramento and Stockton
