In this episode, Kanoya Ali and Peter Cunningham sit down with Erica Ford, widely known as the "Peace Doctor," to explore her groundbreaking work in community violence intervention (CVI) and the remarkable transformation of New York City from a high-violence environment into a safer, more hopeful community.
They discuss her vital role in the Crisis Management System, the innovative Peace Bus initiative, and the critical need for sustained investment in community-based violence prevention efforts. Erica also shares powerful insights on the importance of self-care for those on the front lines of activism, while emphasizing our collective responsibility in building true public safety.
The conversation also addresses the political challenges surrounding violence reduction and makes a compelling case for a healing-centered approach to strengthening communities.
