Protest theme and time changed

SENIOR PEACE CLUB

The Senior Peace Club’s next peaceful protest will be held in front of the Leisure World Globe on Wednesday, Nov. 24, from 4-5 p.m. Due to the return of standard time and the resultant early darkness, the protest will begin and end a half-hour earlier than previously posted. In light of recent tragedies, the protest will focus on drunk driving.

A vibrant resident of Leisure World was killed by a drunk driver this month. This is not the first time that a resident has been killed by a drunk driver inside and outside Leisure World. This happens to many innocent victims every year throughout the country, causing pain and heartache to the victims’ family and friends, needlessly ending lives that should have continued to thrive. People must stop believing they can drink and then drive without impairment and multiple consequences. These avoidable tragedies must stop.

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