Credible Messengers to Bring Cautionary Tales of Gang Life to Belmont
Troy Miller and Freddy “June” Charles Jr. are outreach workers with Release The Grip (RTG), a program under BronxConnect’s Cure Violence initiative. Their role is a step beyond a so-called violence interrupter, which involves former gang members canvassing a neighborhood to share their past with active gang members to prevent violence and gang activity.
“Credibility is everything,” Charles said. “If the community doesn’t trust you or feel a certain way about you, this program would never work.”
In 2010, Miller lost his 25-year-old brother to a gang murder. These days, Miller shares this experience with young people.
“The first thing I want them to do is think about your life because right now life expectancy for these kids is under 25,” Miller said referring to the young adults. “That’s sad because when we were growing up they said we would never live to see past 20 and I’m 41.”
