Viewpoints: State should renew commitment to programs to stem gang violence

November 08, 2011  |  The Sacramento Bee

As pastors of congregations in communities that have been hit hardest by budget cuts and shrinking pathways to opportunity, we have spent too many hours presiding over funerals and ministering to families who have lost children to violence. No words can truly alleviate the pain of loss when a young person is killed, or when a tragic event, such as the death of Monique Nelson at the barbershop last year, occurs.

October 16, 2011  |  The Sacramento Bee

Police Chief Rick Braziel and Sheriff Scott Jones are both putting more manpower into going after Sacramento's gangs. That's a wise use of federal grants they just received. To make the biggest impact, however, they need to join forces with each other, with other law enforcement agencies in the region and with community efforts.
