Ceasefire programs to end youth violence started in Boston in the 1990s. The subsequent drop in youth homicide was called the "Boston Miracle." Can a similar program work in Oakland? David Kennedy, creator of Ceasefire, considered that question at recent talk at Oakland's First Unitarian Church.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Addiction? Truthfully, I’ve become numb to it," says Safiya, 23-year-old West Oakland resident who was also born here. "It’s everywhere; it’s part of life. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that I feel like there’s nothing I can really do about it. So, I’m really just numb to it.” The disease of addiction is at the intersection of virtually every major crisis in West Oakland. Violence, poverty and marginalization are often issues that crisscross and overlap with the epidemic of addiction to substances including alcohol, heroin and, most of all, crack cocaine. In 1988, Too $hort (Oakland's unofficial rap historian) called his hometown the “City of Dope,” and the nickname has stuck ever since. Xan West gives her thoughts in <a href="http://blogs.kqed.org/ourstateofhealth/2010/10/07/cycles-of-addiction-in-the-city-of-dope/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+kqed%2FOurStateOfHealth+%28Our+State+of+Health%3A+California+Reports%29">this post</a> at Our State of Health.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oakland Unified School District’s Excel and Mandela high schools have found the right formula to keep students engaged and invested in educations – and they are sharing it with the public. With a focus on public service, Excel High School’s senior class recently stood before the student community and the public and discussed, presented the facts and defended their dissertations on varied topics. Some of these included teen pregnancy, homelessness, the affects of drugs and alcohol on families, single-parent households, literacy and even police violence.]]></description>
