Kanoya Ali and Peter Cunningham prove that the most unlikely partnerships can drive real change on Chicago's streets. While Chicago saw a 30% drop in shootings compared with last year, these two men with vastly different backgrounds reveal what's really working—and what isn't—in violence prevention. Ali shares his journey through prison at 17 after taking a life, while Peter talks about his experience as Mayor Daley's former speechwriter and decades in Chicago politics. Their conversation explores how networks can either save lives or destroy them, and why sometimes illegal work becomes "the only door open" for young people trying to survive.
