We’ve talked a lot about gun violence on Burn the Boats, and how many politicians have ignored common sense solutions. Lax firearm regulations have made guns more accessible than ever, and as a result, communities are suffering. Thankfully, grassroots leaders are taking a stand.
Today I wanted to share an episode of Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up. The show highlights how these people are taking matters into their own hands in order to make their streets safer. Guests include organizers, therapists, formerly incarcerated, and everyday people living in these communities who want to reduce gun violence, and tackle the systemic issues that play into it.
This first episode features a conversation with two young men that led a life of crime, but are now trying to leave that all behind them. Please enjoy this episode of Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up.
Find Living For We: Keep Ya Head Up wherever you find podcasts. You can find the video version of the show on Spotify and on YouTube.

Trump’s UNHINGED new threat
In a recent speech, Donald Trump suggested reviving a law from the early 1900’s that threatened ten-year jail sentences for anyone defacing a statue. Dara Starr Tucker, host of the All Over The Place Podcast, discusses the racist overtones of this threat.

Former “MAGA Granny” TERRIFIES Trump
Pam Hemphill participated in the J6 Capitol riots, and spent 60 days in prison as a result. She pleaded guilty because, as she says, “I was not a victim…I was a volunteer.” Since then, she has rejected the MAGA movement, and is now actively campaigning for Vice President Harris.

David Hogg: The Successes of Tim Walz
David is a survivor of the Parkland shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas in 2018. Following the attack, he and his classmates founded March for Our Lives, an organization dedicated to ending gun violence in the U.S, and held the largest single day of protest against gun violence in history.
Since then, David has become a leader in the fight to end gun violence. He graduated from Harvard this year, and co-founded Leaders We Deserve, an organization that aims to help elect young, progressive candidates to office.
In this interview, David talks about what VP candidate Tim Walz has accomplished and what he brings to the democratic ticket, as well as the importance of bipartisanship and bringing Gen-Z into the political fold.
