“An Altar Boy with a Gun”
Raul Diaz, social worker at Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles
Raul Diaz is a social worker at Homeboy Industries, a center where formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women redirect their lives. Raul has guided many of the 10,000 former gang members from across Los Angeles who come through Homeboy Industries’ doors each year into becoming contributing members of the community. He was profiled by author Courtney E. Martin in the book Do It Anyway: The New Generation of Activists. He is also a runner, hiker, baseball fan, father, and proud native son of Boyle Heights.
