IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT DEATH OF TRAVIS FAISON ALONG WITH ONGOING VIOLENCE (ROBBERIES, SHOOTINGS, ETC) IN OUR CITY & AFTER WITNESSING THE PAIN & ANGUISH ON HIS FAMILIES FACE LAST NIGHT I KNEW THAT IT WAS TIME TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE IN THE CITY OF SANFORD!!!! GOD HAS LAID IT ON MY HEART TO ORGANIZE A PEACEFUL PROTEST AGAINST VIOLENCE IN OUR CITY; WE AS CITIZENS & FAMILIES OF VICTIMS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HEARD BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE PEACEFULLY & COLLABORATIVELY IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGE!!!! I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING AT MY RESIDENCE & OTHER VIOLENCE IN THIS CITY & ORGANIZED A RALLY A FEW YEARS AGO WHICH WAS A SUCCESS!!! OUR CITY HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY VIOLENCE & ITS TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND HELP CREATE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR YOUTH BY BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN US & LAW ENFORCEMENT, ADDRESS GANG ACTIVITY & DEVELOPMENT APPROPRIATE STRATEGIES THAT ARE AIMED AT CURTAILING THE VIOLENCE IN OUR CITY!!!! IT WOULD BE AN INJUSTICE TO OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN & CITIZENS TO NOT TAKE A STAND AGAINST SOMETHING THAT HAS RESULTED IN SO MUCH DEVASTATION & THATS VIOLENCE!!!! ILL BE CONTACTING THE MAYORS OFFICE TODAY TO INITIATE THIS RALLY IN THE COMING WEEKS...MORE DETAILS WILL FOLLOW IN THE COMING DAYS!!!
