Subject: Protest Against Cow Palace Gun Show
Sat Nov 8, 2003
Contacts: Hugo Salgado (415) 642-4419 (CARECEN)
Shawn M. Richard ( 415) 920-7030 (Brothers Against Guns)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Second Chance Tattoo Removal Program, based out of the Mission District and part of CARECEN (Central American Resource Center), and Brothers Against Guns, based out of Hunters Point, have joined forces in order to unite our communities in a protest against the upcoming Gun Show taking place at the Cow Palace on November 8th from 9 am to 5 pm. The Cow Palace is located at Geneva Ave. and Santos St., San Francisco, where we will assemble at the main parking entrance at 11:00 am.
The main purpose of this demonstration is to show the press and the general public that we are against gun exhibitions that not only glamorize firearms but, as in this case, are placed in areas that are already fragile and prone to violence and not in a position to take in the effects of large exhibitions of firearms.
We are urging community members and organizations to participate in this rally against the continuous gun shows being held at the Cow Palace. Located in Visitation Valley and adjacent to the Mission and Bayview Hunters Point Districts, three of the most underprivileged and segregated areas in San Francisco of which the latter became witness to the recent violent death of a two month old infant that was shot and killed on September 27th as he lay in his uncle’s arms. This tragedy and a recent survey produced by the youth of Brothers Against Guns has urged us to demand these gun shows out of our communities.
The Brothers Against Guns survey collected 150 questionnaires in the Bayview district, out of which 75% knew someone that had been robbed, 72% had lost a loved one to violence, 87% knew someone that had been shot and 84% knew of someone that had been shot at. (BAG, June 2003 survey) The survey, which concludes with a list of recommendations supplied by the youth includes “No Gun Shows at the Cow Palace†We listened!
CARECEN and Brothers Against Guns are members of the San Francisco Gang-Free Communities Steering Committee. A coalition of 32 city and community based agencies with five core components: Community mobilization, opportunities provision, social intervention, suppression, and organizational change and development.
