Intergroup Dialogue: Cruzando Puentes (Crossing Bridges). One of the busiest freeway interchanges in the world crosses Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles, Calif. A densely populated, high-crime, low-income area, it’s rich in history and culture. Puentes engages communities to address the core issues of violence and its consequences by forging partnerships and increasing opportunities for employment, education, and civic engagement.
