Peace on the streets

Peace On The Streets. Forum May 29 2010

Peace On The Streets, being a group for only five weeks, was able to organize a community forum that not only discussed the violence on the streets but was able to address the problems our community has been faced with and came up with many solutions. I have never seen such a great crowd where each person cared so much about their surroundings. In little words I would like to admit that I, Melissa Schott, am proud to be one of many in such a progressive group.
Many Groups such as The Brown Barets and Familia Center joined in to present ways to help solve our issues with violence. We as the community then took our minds together to create a plan for a better future.
Not only did the voice of the community get heard, but the voice of students; a voice that is seldom
addressed. Our voices reached the Santa Cruz Sentinel and the hearts of our small community. We wish to keep up the good work with ongoing meetings to fix what has been broken.

Miguel did a great job introducing the Peace On The Streets and was a great help with organization.

Some of the students and Group members from Peace on The streets read some of their stories that helped show how violence in Santa Cruz has been affecting the Youth.

This group was invited to offer what they have to help younge students stay out of trouble and to help out with families in need.

Not only did students from Santa Cruz High participate in The forum, but Students from other schools showed their interest in what we have to say.

This man Brought a lot into not only this forum, but to some following meetings. He has brought us many opportunities that gives Peace On The Streets more potentials on succeeding.

After the presentations, we all got together and discussed plans for the future. This really worked and was when we all got a chance to say something.

Then, we presented what we had discussed. This is where we showed a lot of progress!
