Students Demand Action in Shootings of Classmates

Hundreds of June Jordan students protest at San Francisco's City Hall in response to the separate shootings of three classmates. There's been a total of seven shooting deaths in San Francisco in the past three weeks. No arrests have been made yet in six of the killings.

    • 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!!!!
