The Oaklandside Podcast | Stopping Gun Violence in Oakland

🔊 New Podcast Alert: Oaklandside’s Tasneem Raja sat down with Roselyn Romero to dive into what it really looks like to prevent gun violence in Oakland—and the conversation is deeply inspiring.

Romero talks about her interview with Doral Myles, our Citywide Violence Interrupter, about his frontline work; then the podcast highlights Youth ALIVE!’s Teens on Target program, shining a light on how youth are stepping into mentorship, peer education, and leadership to break cycles of violence in their communities.

“We don’t just show up once things have gone wrong—we show up before things go wrong.”

If you care about public safety, community-led prevention, and authentic youth leadership, this podcast is a must-listen. Proud of Doral, our TNT leaders, and the entire Youth ALIVE! team for doing the hard but transformative work.
