Call to Action: Tuesday's March on PG County Council
The Go-Go Coalition would like to thank everyone that came out to Sunday's meeting. We'd also like to thank Rev. Tony Lee and the Community of Hope Church, as well as the Heaven Sent band.
The Coalition has partnered with the Peaceoholics and on Tuesday, we will meet at the parking lot of The Show Place Arena/Prince George's County Equestrian Center in Upper Marlbor at 9AM. At 9:30 we will walk peacefully to the County Administration Building to present a letter to the County Council inviting them to work with us to find a solution to the violence that plaques not only the 9 night clubs that were shut down, but the entire county.
We need as many people as possible to join us, as there is strength in numbers. Even if you cannot stay, your presence is important. The council meets at 10 and by 10:15, you can be in your car and on your way to work. Please bring someone with you, and please spread the word. The Directions are below.
