From Brian Center, Executive Director of A Better LA:

On August 2, we are hosting a “March for Kids” from 10 to noon at the Coliseum. The goal is to bring people together from all over Los Angeles to demonstrate unity and support for what is going on in our inner-cities, educate people about the great work that is going on to reduce violence, and express our hopes for the future. It should be a very nice event, and help build on Pete’s vision to create a movement around what we are doing. Our thought is that this could become an annual event that continues to grow until we are filling the coliseum.

The March will be fairly short — around about 1/2 of the Coliseum, and onto the field where there will be speeches and music. We need volunteers to be at tables, guide the crowd and press, hand out water and snacks, keep communication flowing, make sure parking is going well, taking care of VIPs and more. We need around 60 volunteers.

For more information on how to get involved or volunteer for this event call A Better LA at 213-749-0405 or email livepeace@abetterla.org.
