GMG LIVE Season Finale: The Conflict Beneath the Mission
About this Event
For the Season 1 finale of Get Me to the Gray LIVE, host Paula Lehman-Ewing sits down with leaders from GRASP (Gang Rescue and Support Project) for a conversation about internal conflict, organizational alignment, and the stories institutions tell themselves about who they are and what they're trying to accomplish.
This conversation will examine the role of research, lived experience, and community knowledge in shaping decisions that affect public safety, community wellbeing, and organizational effectiveness.
As with every GMG LIVE event, this is not a debate and it is not a panel discussion. It is an unscripted conversation designed to sit with difficult questions rather than rush toward easy answers.
Because sometimes the conflict isn't the problem.
Sometimes it's the clue.
About GMG LIVE
Rooted in COJA's narrative strategy work, GMG LIVE is designed for moments when the dominant language around public safety, leadership, accountability, and harm stops being useful. These live conversations examine the tension beneath the talking points: how power is exercised, how responsibility is framed, and how real-world consequences emerge from the stories institutions tell themselves.
Each event features a live recording of Get Me to the Gray, COJA's podcast for conversations we're often told not to have—or not to have out loud.
