Anne Marks is the Executive Director of Youth Alive, an Oakland-based non-profit that believes that urban youth have the capacity to stop the violence plaguing our communities. We talk about what it means to be an ally and discuss her recent op ed in The Guardian about the role of police before diving into music. Anne is my cousin and basically my big sister. She’s someone I’ve looked up to my entire life both politically and culturally.For a playlist of Anne's songs, visit https://petermarks.us/podcast/2
