Are you fed up with feeling unsafe in your own neighborhood? Dismayed with the low priority Seattle seems to place on combating open gang activity, violence, and the threat of violence? Disappointed that prominent parks and intersections are “no go” areas for your family? Concerned with slow or ineffective responses to 911 calls? Has someone who’s assaulted you or a loved one already been released from jail?
Most importantly, are you willing to take constructive action to change the situation?
If so, please drop me a line here. I don’t know what will come of this, but I do know we’ll get more done by organizing. I’d like you to join us whether you’re liberal, conservative, black, white, or other. I’d especially like to hear from law enforcement officers.
A couple tips: If you’re serious about making a difference, I suggest refraining from insulting people with profanity, racial slurs, or disparaging generalizations about police officers. It feels good to vent, but you’ll change more minds by expressing yourself in a level-headed, respectful way.
