S.O.S. Peace March: Wednesday, October 20th at 6:00 PM.

mr. henry

In the wake of the rampant violence that has damaged and claimed so many lives in Crown Heights, Save Our Streets (S.O.S.) Crown Heights is organizing a community-wide march to promote a message of peace and demonstrate that we will not tolerate shootings and killings in our neighborhood.

Please join S.O.S., clergy, and residents of Crown Heights, including friends and family of victims, on Wednesday, October 20th at 6:00 PM.

The march will begin at the Northwest corner of Eastern Parkway and Utica Avenue. We will walk West towards Franklin Avenue ending at Franklin and Eastern Parkway. There we will recognize the lives lost and those affected by gun violence in Crown Heights North.

To learn more about S.O.S. call 718-679-9410 or check out our blog at http://soscrownheights.blogspot.com/. While you're there, click the link to follow us on Facebook!

Hope to see you there!

Eventually it would be great to expand the funding base for SOS. There were a lot of foks from SNUG ENY there last night.

Their org does similar work.....

Let me know if you need a proposal writer. ....but I'm betting SOS's present fiscal sponsor, CCI, is already ahead of me.
