Garfield Park Shooting - Meeting Today, 9.19 at Foreign Cinema Beginning at Noon

[Myrick Tantiado]

My apologies for the short notice as I just received this message in regards to a recent fatal shooting at Garfield Park.  Here's a news article on the shooting:  Man Shot, Killed on San Francisco Mission District Street  

Please try to make this meeting today and forward the info to others in the neighborhood.

repost from Emily Sharkey: 

Hi Neighbors,

As many of you know, there was a fatal shooting at 4pm right outside Garfield Park this past Sunday, about 8 feet from the playground fence. The playground was full of children enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon, which was suddenly interrupted by gunfire. Parents grabbed their children and ran (many into a public bathroom) for safety.
It could have happened to any of us. Easily a child could have been shot.

This violence is unacceptable and puts us all at great risk. If there is any way you can make the meeting, it would be wonderful as the only way that things will change is through placing pressure on the elected and appointed officials.

There will be a meeting of the Mission Merchants tomorrow at noon at Foreign Cinema. David Campos will be there and hopefully the Captain of Mission station. 

I'll hope to see some of you there. Please spread the word far and wide to friends and colleagues-the more voices and bodies the better!!!

Take care and be safe.
