Young people demand change, its sad that they didn't get any mainstream media, not surprising. Keep up the good work June Jordan, Nancy, Oriana, Shara, etc...

good video - bad situation. It's good to see people banding together. Why so many negative votes though and no comments? that doesn't seem right.

How Many Rivers Must We Cross? How Many Miles Must We March To Make Our Point CLEAR?

Invest In Violence Prevention With Community Run Programs That Give Youth An Alternative To The Street Life.

Instead, Our City Government Comes At Us Through The Back Door With "Gang Injunction" Punishment That Does Not Prevent Violence. It Evicts More Of Our People Out Of The Community And Into Jails. It Costs Huge Amounts Of Tax Dollars On Police Overtime. And Enacts Heavy Police Presence That Further Intimidates Our Communities.

PREVENTION!!!! NOT PUNISHMENT!!!!
