The Newark Anti-Violence Coalition

Our guest will be Bashir Akinyele from The Newark Anti-Violence Coalition. The NAVC is a "voice" of concerned citizens and organizations that unofficially formed itself in response to the July 2009 shooting that killed 35 year-old bystander Nakisha Allen. Since then, every week (Wednesday) the Coalition has rallied in parts of Newark hardest hit by violence along with shutting down major commuter vessels in the city. Join us as we speak to a positive black man who is taking back his community!
