In the summer of 2022, Shareef Khatib applied his 20 years of experience leading community engagement and peacebuilding foreign aid programs in Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, and other places to the growing problem of gun violence in Portland, Oregon.

How can a city like Portland tackle gun violence?

How can we empower local organizations in a fast and flexible manner to prevent crime?

How can one apply lessons learned from a career abroad to domestic problems?

These are some of the questions we explore with Shareef in this episode.
