Deborah Shore interviewed about Obama visit

20th of January 2009

On Inauguration Day, Sasha Bruce Youthwork Executive Director Deborah Shore discussed the “transformative” visit of Barack Obama to our shelter. Listen to the interview aired on AM 830, a popular Los Angeles radio show.

Shore was interviewed by celebrity attorney Brian Oxman and former CBS reporter/producer Kathryn Milofsky on Insight, a midday program that features national and world leaders in politics, sports and entertainment.

Explaining that she had been with the organization for its entire 34-year history, Shore highlighted our Youth-Led and YouthBuild programs and predicted that the new Administration would foster greater understanding of the value of youth organizing and community service. It was noted during the program that Obama started his professional career as a community organizer in Chicago’s inner city neighborhoods, not unlike the environment where Sasha Bruce operates.
