Farías asks how OCS will connect DV organizations with violence interrupters

And then just a couple of few additional questions.

How will OCS facilitate relationships between domestic and gender-based violence organizations and other key partners, including violence interrupter programs and gun violence prevention organizations?

That's a great question.

And that's something that we are doing now and that we intend to continue to build out a variety of ways of doing that work.

I think it will happen in a number of ways.

Part of it is as the team grows into a more cohesive team across the office and they are sharing.

sharing best practices, sharing ways of working, that they will naturally also be bringing their partners with them.

Other ways that we are doing that is we, of course, have existing advisory councils.

I anticipate that as we continue to expand, we'll have existing ways to bring together our providers in other advisory bodies, meetings, and we'll work to include a range of different providers.

We are also, as we build out new initiatives around public safety, one of the focuses of that work is to think about

What are initiatives that address multiple different forms of violence?

And so how do we do that in a comprehensive way?

One of the lovely things about the Family Justice Center is it's a comprehensive approach to addressing domestic and gender-based violence.

It has lots of different providers embedded within it.

I could imagine models like that happening in different spaces across our work, including providers in the domestic and gender-based violence space, the gun violence space, the hate crimes prevention space.

This is...

This is not me saying a new program.

This is just me saying how I imagine that as we build out, we will continue to ensure that we're pulling on the right people to provide a more holistic approach to this really challenging issue.
