The truce is the beginning of the journey to peace in our city. I applaud the young men who have taken the steps to stop the violence! Additionally, I thank the Mayor for keeping her door open. The fact is that they must trust her enough to sit at the table and have the conversations needed to end the killing. It's more than anyone else has been able to do to date.
There is a lesson we all can learn from them; from this. We may not have guns drawn, but certainly the acerbic repartee and invectives that have besieged this administration has turned into a verbal war.
Next week a host of Plainfield residence, both past and present, will come together to continue these PEACE efforts. I hope you will be there to lend your support, find out how you can help, and share ideas on how to develop recreational programming for our youth.
The ultimate goal of this event is to help support the establishment of a Recreation Center for Plainfield Youth!
Mark your calendar: May 28th | 1 PM – P.H.S.
