This week the Combine discusses gang culture and its relationship to popular culture and entertainment. This hyper-capitalist machine called America, seamlessly works in conjunction with the entertainment industry to make street/gang culture look like a viable option for young black men globally. Yet when these young men get caught up in the legal system (or worse), they often find themselves blindsided facing a legal system that is designed for mass incarceration.

We are the Brooklyn Combine, a non-profit community organization. We work with schools, community organizations, and dedicated city officials to help provide mentorship, critical education, leadership, and social support programs to youth and young adults in low-income and underserved communities.
