On the next Your Call, we'll talk about gang injunctions, or court orders that prohibit alleged gang members from activities--including associating with one another--inside a proscribed area. Proponents say injunctions make communities safer from gang violence. Opponents say they perpetuate police repression at inordinate cost to the city. Do you live in an area affected by gang violence or gang injunctions? What do you think is the best solution? Join us at 10 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call with Holly Kernan and you.
Guests:
Ali Winston, reporter for "The Informant" at KALW News
Whitney Walton, organizer with Oakland's Stop the Injunctions Coalition
Pat Kernighan, Oakland City Councilperson for District 2 and chair of the Public Safety Committee.
