Long Beach, CA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 On Saturday, June 19th<\/sup>\u00a0at 11 AM, the committee\u00a0Stop the Madness: Support Recalling District Attorney Gascon Now<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in conjunction with nonprofits Asian Industry B2B, and Blexit will be holding a rally in El Dorado Park highlighting concerns shared by a diverse array of community members over the rising spikes in crime, the effects that Gascon\u2019s directives have on communities of color, and impact felt by victims of crime.<\/p>\n

Organizer\u00a0Marc Ang<\/strong>\u00a0says, “This special event\u00a0will be a potluck celebration of multicultural groups coming together to support\u00a0real solutions for the African American community, and to work towards Martin Luther King Jr’s dream of true\u00a0opportunity for African Americans, which has not been manifested in the inner cities who deal with day to day danger such as gang and property crime.”<\/p>\n

Speakers scheduled to attend the event include\u00a0Harriette Reid<\/strong>\u00a0sharing about spiking crime in Black communities,\u00a0Bishop Mendez<\/strong>\u00a0founder of Churches in Action who is sharing about Gascon\u2019s policies endangering Angelenos, and Deputy District Attorney\u00a0John McKinney<\/strong>\u00a0from \u201cProportional Justice.com\u201d sharing about the impact Gascon\u2019s policies are having on the District Attorney\u2019s office.\u00a0Jojo Afable<\/strong>, from Sheriff\u00a0Alex Villanueva<\/strong>‘s Community Advisory Council, created to encourage community involvement in specific ethnic groups,\u00a0and correctional officer by trade, will speak about unifying ethnic communities to deal with crime and safety on the granular level.<\/p>\n

Also speaking will be Marc Ang on the importance of racial unity, especially as it relates to transcending the divide to promote public safety, and will be joined by mothers Emma Rivas, Imelda Silva, Sandra Martinez, and Patricia Orona whose children were murdered.<\/p>\n

The emphasis of this event is to raise awareness that the very polices DA Gascon alleges to benefit communities of color actually are doing greater harm as experienced by the very members of those neighborhoods. Supporters are encouraging that the law is to be equitably enforced, not selectively enforced with one individual picking and choosing which laws to apply and which crimes to prosecute. History and experience expose that employing such tactics undermines a government rooted and based in rule of law.<\/p>\n
