Violent weekend in Dade

To say that this was a bloody weekend for Miami-Dade would be an understatement. Reports were released this morning that 7 lives were lost by gunfire, ranging from nightclubs to the streets of Liberty City all the way to Miami Gardens...in one weekend!

Our community better get its head out of the sand very soon before there is no future generation left. It is probably true that Miami is having a "big city moment" with the rise in violence. But the gunfire is overwhelmingly taking the lives of young Black men and women on a daily basis. And although showing solidarity through marches in the street is great, we have got to put our heads together, put our EGOS ASIDE (leaders) and find some real solutions to a streak that threatens to wipe out our community and a future generation.
