Oakland's Violence Prevention Chief Holly Joshi talks about restoring Ceasefire
Briefly

'Operation Ceasefire, which successfully reduced gun violence by connecting at-risk individuals with support, was abandoned by Oakland leaders, leading to increasing violence rates.'
'Studies conducted show that Ceasefire played a significant role in decreasing Oakland's homicide rate from 32 per 100,000 in 2012 to 16 in 2017, linking the program to its success.'
