I recently participated in a program called Locked Up in Malibu, under the aegis of Organizing for Change, a national program initiated by President Obama. This event fostered constructive dialogue about youth crime and gang membership between members of the community and young men incarcerated at Camp Vernon Kilpatrick. The experience was intended to suggest different choices and paths to these young men trying to rebuild their lives. I am also participating in the formation of a youth program in Malibu, tentatively called The Socratic Garden. At the invitation of the parents of students in the local area, I am organizing a youth discussion group focused on critical thinking, social engagement, and artistic and cultural exploration.
