Demonstration on Feb. 22

SENIOR PEACE CLUB

The Senior Peace Club’s next monthly Peaceful Protest will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 22, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in front of the Leisure World Globe. As the days have begun to lengthen again, the protest will start a half hour later than the last few demonstrations. The focus this month will be gun control and police reform.

California is reeling from gun carnage especially during the last few weeks and months. The lives of ordinary citizens should not be lost because congress is unable or unwilling to take on the gun manufacturers and the NRA, and the police might be less likely to violate the rights of minorities in particular if they didn’t have to be in so much fear of being shot and killed on the job. When police do violate citizens’ rights, they must be held accountable.

Signs will be available at the demonstration, but people are encouraged to make and bring their own appropriate signs. All caring and concerned people are welcome to participate.
