Dear Community,

Please add the below information to your schedule. We must attend this sentencing. It is not enough for the few members of our community to speak on our behalf, nor is it enough to have our Community Prosecutors carry the burden of defending our communities against repeat offenders on their own. Our presence, concern and outrage must be made known.

Being a  “good investment neighborhood”, or a “historic community that feature home tours”, are not our goals!  PUBLIC SAFETY is key! Without it- all of this is in vain…. forget the Beltline, forget economic development, forget the housing stock… without a safe community, we’re like 42nd Street in NY before Disney. (If you’re unfamiliar with the old 42nd Street- think of Metropolitan in the past) … Not worth seeing and not worth traveling to unless you’re looking for trouble.

The residence within NPU-T have come a long way. We have worked very heard and SEE the fruits of our labor.  Let’s continue in this pattern and ensure our voices and works are being directed on activities that make a lasting positive impact.
