Dakotah joins us to share her perspective living in one of the neighborhoods around Sixth and Marquette that has been experiencing a large amount of gun violence. It's something a lot of us can't comprehend but for some, sitting down to dinner and hearing gun shots in your back yard is just another day. 

We discuss her experiences, and also thoughts on what we can do as a community to be part of the change. 

Here is a quick episode introducing you to our co-host Joni! We talk about Rusty's hatred for the Target Red card, how to deal with emotional stress, and why Joni decided to join the Sixth and Marquette Podcast. 

Danielle Valentine joins us to share her story about addiction, recovery and what life looks like for her now. 

Dre joins us to talk about gangs, gun violence and the life he experienced living on the west side of Chicago.  This is just the beginning of a continuing conversation we will have from different perspectives on Juvenile Crime and Gun Violence - including the contributing factors that got us to this point and how we can recover from it. 

Join host Rusty Boruff as he briefly explains what Sixth and Marquette is all about.
