Watson Attends NAN Anti-Violence Summit
Yesterday [Dec 18] Bermudian anti-gang campaigner Dennis Rahiim Watson attended the National Action Network [NAN] anti-violence summit at NAN’s national headquarters, the House of Justice. The event coincided with two “cash for guns” events at Harlem churches in partnership with the New York City Police Department. Mr Watson is pictured below alongside Reverend Al Sharpton:
NAN said “As the crisis of gun violence in New York and across the country reaches epic proportions, and in the wake of statistics that were released by the Department that revealed that two-thirds of the murder victims in New York City are Black, NAN has mobilized leaders in the anti-violence effort to unite to create a special taskforce to deal with this problem. The taskforce seeks to create a unified body comprised of local groups, concerned citizens, clergy, law enforcement and elected officials. National Action Network believes the response to the violence must come from within.”
