Lead by the Churches of NorthEast LA, the NorthEast LA community will meet to march against the violence in the streets.
From 9:30-11:00am there will be public presentations including parents of victims of street violence, local dignitaries and, possibly, Mayor Villarigosa.
The march starts at the corner of Figueroa and York. It goes down York to Eagle Rock Blvd. At Eagle Rock it goes left to Victory Outreach Eagle Rock where there will be a Resource Fair, Live and DJ music, a Mini Car Show and free snacks and bottled water, which also will be available at the start of the march.
Community groups, families, local organizations and businesses and others are encouraged to join the march and bring organizational / identificational banners and signs. March signs will also be provided.
This march and resource fair are being held in response to the violence in the streets of NorthEast LA, the crimes against the person, such as shootings / drive-bys / robberies / assaults / rapes / batteries. Summer is the time when these crimes escalate and so we are taking to the streets to march and declare:
PEACE in the NorthEast: STOP the Violence
