And I go, oh, no, just love people.

But we need to teach them not to hate anymore.

You go, no, hate is an indicator.

It's a symptom.

It's not a problem.

It's pointing to one.

And I learned that with gang members because they were killing each other.

And I was burying eight kids in a three-week period.

And it was horrific.

But I knew early on that the gang violence was a lethal absence of hope.

So instead of addressing the violence, I wanted to infuse hope.

to kids for whom hope was foreign.

And then watch what happens to the violence.

The violence disappeared.

It really did.

Because you addressed the thing you needed to address, which was the undergirded despair that was lying underneath.

Find the thorn underneath.

We want to address things head on.

Homophobia, misogyny, anti-Semitism.
