Move It Forward
We are the Amistad Law Project, a small grassroots public interest law center and organizing project in the city of Philadelphia. We advocate for the human rights of people adversely impacted by the system, including people behind prison walls. Welcome to our monthly podcast where we’ll be lifting up the voices of our community members in the struggle for healthier and safer communities. By sharing perspectives you won’t normally hear on mainstream media platforms, we’re building our own platforms, raising our own voices, and telling our own stories, the way they need to be told. The plot thickens constantly in our struggle, and we have to push through the thickness, to move the plot forward towards change. We hope you’ll join us in moving it forward.

Staring Down the Barrel: What Happened to Our Communities when Gun Control Failed
•
Season 2
•
Episode 4
This episode, we’re taking a closer look at guns. The vast majority of murders in this country are committed with firearms. We can’t have a meaningful conversation about murders and gun violence without talking about how these guns make their way to our streets. With more being bought now than ever before in the United States, we spoke to people who have lost loved ones about what the proliferation of guns means for our communities. Guests include Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, Kendra Van de Water and Yané of YEAH Philly, former Philadelphia Public Defender Keir Bradford Gray, and more.
