Youth Fight For Peace ; save OUR 626 YOUth's Blurbs
About me: My names Kathiana & I live in the 626 area. As you all know we have been through quite alot these past few weeks.The Monrovia/Duarte gang shootings have left four dead and many injured. We have all been affected by this issue believe it or not, wether you live in Monrovia, Daurte, Arcadia, Pasadena or any other neighboring cities throught the 626 / SGV area ,youve probably head about the shooting. And now, finally farther cities have been informed about our issues.Many of us have lost friends and family memebers.Today I went to visit my probation officer & she asked me what I do with my spare time,(since I only attend two days of school) and I simply replied "nothing really, just wasting time away with friends".She told me "Wasting time,I bet your friends who were killed by the shootings would be very upset to hear you are "wasting time" ".And then issued me 40 hours of community service.So I came here and thought about how I could do a service to my community.Then this idea came to mind.My community is suffering,my peers are dying & our youth is doing alot of "wasting".I got as many of my friends together & told them to spread the word. WE the youth are going to stand strong for each other. So I created an organization, the YOUTH FIGHT FOR PEACE IN THE 626. Our first attept to stop this violence is to wear WHITE on Tues, Feb, 5th 2008.I have also decided to make bracelets proventing the SGV/626 gang violence. White bracelets (color symbolizes "youth" ) that will read - "☮ 626 "- . The bracelets will be sold as a donation (anything anyone can give). And proceeds will be given to the familes who have lost their loved ones I also encourage everyone to wear WHITE on Tuesday, Febuary 5th 2008 in memory of our lost peers. I am asking everyone in the community to wear white,snap a picture and send it to me.I will be making a photo collage that will read " 626; we are more than a community, we are a family, and were in this together.STOP the violence, peace for the 626" & i will be giving it to the familes who have lost their love ones to show that we support them. The youth is indeed our future & we will have nothing if we continue to believe in violence. So if your from the 626, this wonderful place WE call home & believe that violence in our community should be stopped please repost,wear white & buy a bracelet.

Hi Kathiana, a student has recently created a Peace Page For Monrovia but I can't find the Myspace page. If you run into it, will you drop me an email? Thanks, take care. xx Louise
