I can't wait to meet you in person to discuss survivors rights! You are completely correct in stating that there needs to be real attention given AND I believe that survivors are the biggest key in stopping the madness, as you have first hand experience in dealing with it. Go sister go!

Hey Michael:
I'm down for whatever Michael. You are so right they do overlook our efforts and don't include us at the bargaining table. They haven't offered anything for survivors where's the funds for that or a place to meet without being interupted? They should formulate a plan to give the Survivors with M.A.S.K. a surplus building to run effective services. I haven't heard anyone say anything about the Survivors losses! They probalby will never admit that Survivors are key to healing any community. Which many have never been given acknowlegdement or reconition by anyone.
Why in the heck would they want to hire a Violence Prevention Coordinatorf for
$ 200.00 someone has lost their everlasting foolish mind. Did Tony really write that? How is he really thinking in terms of our best interest?
We have our own violence
prevention experts right here the Activists and Richmond street soldiers in our own community. Maybe we are not considered (best practice experts) by them. Anyway it goes down best practice experts learn from grassroots indiviuals or nothing works anyway. They are truly the ones who are Strangers amongst the people and would never go out and do the field work themselves. I doubt they go out into anybody's hood.
I know that they are full of it that's why I quit going to there meetings. Book learned quacks! Why would they want to hire Amer Corps and pay them when we have indiviuals here that need income or the scholarships, don't they get college credits or stipheds anyway? I still feel it's just another trick coming out of the hats of a bunch of control freaks.

Good morning Mike/all,
As you know, I tend to stay silent on most of these issues as the incompetent usually figure things out to eventually, but I’m in total agreement with staying neutral on this until all parties for violence prevention can be heard and included.
Is it me, or is the city council setting a record for not only the world’s slowest response to one of their longest running problems, or is that the plan to keep the money flowing? A message to the poverty pimps: YOU CAN’T FOOLS US…WE KNOW WHAT YOU’RE UP TO.
This hustle has been going on for years, but it’s gotten to the point that the hustlers are so bad at it most people are catching on. Being a Richmond High grad in 1992, I speak on this lack of action first hand as I watched many people (friends included) die from violence.
I do encourage folks to watch tonight on TV (if you can stomach it) to see how this political pawn game is being played out…let’s not forget this is an election year and everyone is “jockeying” for position by WHATEVER means necessary. Lest we forget that politics is more entertainment than it is action.
Sad times my friends, but if we call people to task each and every time they try something, they won’t be able to get away with it.
