The 2025 SMISC Board had a wonderful time in Pittsburgh this summer for our first annual board retreat! We were honored for the opportunity to spend time with and learn from Dr Withers in a city he has made such a difference in. As the year comes to a close, we would like to thank the 2025 SMISC Board for all of the work they have done to make this such a great year 👏

🎧 New podcast episode! 🎧 In episode 12 season 3 of Street Side, the official SMISC podcast, cohost Michael Brennan talks with Father Greg Boyle. Father Boyle is a native Angeleno and Jesuit priest. From 1986 to 1992, Father Boyle served as the pastor of Dolores Mission Church, then the poorest catholic parish in Los Angeles that also had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city.

Father Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so called “decade of death” that began in the 1980s and peaked at 1,000 gang related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence, he and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings.
