If in this area- No matter what happens at court on October 30th, we need to be there. We need to send a message to the social workers, the police officers and anyone who comes in contact with children that their laziness and lack of work ethic is not ok! Our employees need to follow the correct procedures, they need to create reports when there is a call for suspected child abuse. We need documentation and follow up. Children can not be left to suffer. If you have not done so already, please remember to rsvp to this event with a Yes for physical attendance and Maybe for a in spirit attendance. We strongly encourage taking the Red Line to the courthouse and exiting Civic Center. Also, we would like for all attendees to wear a blue shirt, in solidarity, for Gabriel.
