On Monday, July 25, 2011, there was another death to violence. Unfortunately a young man was found stabbed to death in the stairwell of a building within our catchment area.

We cannot stop shootings and killings without help from the whole community. Stand with SOS Crown Heights and the clergy to send the message opposing violence! Please join us: The response is scheduled for Thursday, July 28th, 2011 at 6 p.m. in front of 1400 Albany.
