Special to The Leader

All Lives Matter. This coming Thursday at 7 p.m. at Orange Church of God located at 1911 16th Street in Orange, we will be looking to create and begin implementation of processes that will protect our prosperity.

All lives matter, the lives of our children that are in the cradle and our parents that are sitting on the front porches. We will discuss ways to

reduce the lost of life not just to gun violence but to treats of illiteracy, drugs, alcohol, prison, poverty, suicide and domestic violence just to name a few.

We will look to address the lost of life of our elderly that have been abandoned in health care facilities, children that are in CPS care and those

who have lost their life to poor, low or no self-esteem. We will be looking to address the terrorism of social media defining who and what are children

should be. Does all lives matter, yes they do. If we don’t embrace life as a matter (the subject of concern, feeling or action) a time will come when living

will be relegated to matter (waste or discharge from a living organism as pus or feces).

If the life of our community matters to you, I humbly request your assistance in endorsing this first of many proactive meetings. I do understand schedule conflicts.

If you are not able to attend, I ask if you could send a representative. It’s going to take a unit to unify unification within our community. Let’s not only stand together

let’s step out together.
