molls: tumblangeles: I have some incredibly sad news to report.  Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention program in the world, serving Los Angeles’ youth, is losing 75% of its staff for failing to meet the $5 million it needs to provide job development, case management, tattoo removal, mental health counseling, curriculum and legal services for gang members.  Its motto: “Nothing stops a bullet like a job,” says it all.  Lead by influential Jesuit priest Father Greg Boyle, Homeboy Industries’ mission has been praised by everyone from the White House down to the LAPD and leading celebrities but our homeboys need our help more than ever. How to support: Donate as little as $10 via their website or by mail, Visit the Homegirl Cafe or Homeboy Bakery, located at 130 W. Bruno St (just three blocks north of Union Station at Alameda St.) for a meal, Support Homeboy Silkscreen and Embroidery for your t-shirt ordering needs for teams, schools or business, or even buy a Jobs Not Jails t-shirt to support the cause.  Or learn how to volunteer or hire a homeboy or homegirl for your business here. YO, SUPPORT HOMEBOY INDUSTRIES. I WILL BE MAKING A MODEST DONATION AND IMMA HAVE 2 ASK YOU TO DO THE SAME. I’M NOT EVEN IN THE POSITION TO BE MAKING DONATIONS, BUT I AM COUNTING ON HOMEBOY INDUSTRIES TO KEEP THE LITTLE MOTHER FUCKERS IN MY BUILDING WRANGLED. “NOTHING STOPS A BULLET LIKE A JOB” Father Boyle came to my high school to talk about HomeBoy Industries (I went to both a Jesuit high school and college), and he seemed like a really exceptional human being. Society throws away its criminals, and Father Boyle works to reform them. Obviously, this doesn’t apply to every “criminal,” but for those who want to change and be a better person, Father Boyle has been there to help them get back on their feet and I respect that. Give that cheddar to Father Boyle, S.J.
