TO ALL PASTORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS:
In grave mutual concern about the violence that is taking place in our neighborhood streets locally and throughout the nation, a proposal is being offered to you.
The fact that many unnecessary lives are being taken violently concerns us all. Crime begets crime and it will continue to spread as long as the world is filled with hatred–a malignant societal cancer.
Therefore positive Action needs to be taken most effectively led by a collaboration of the religious and community leaders of this and other cities.
This call is therefore being made to ALL!
As these lives are being taken in the streets, let us UNITE in taking our message to the streets! When powerful positive voices are heard and POSITIVE EXAMPLE set in motion, positive change will begin to take place within our neighborhoods and reverberate throughout cities, the nation and abroad!
