Violence in our Community

a message from Executive Director Deb Green

October 27, 2020

Hello PIC Families,

I am writing to once again to voice concern about the violence taking place in our community and the continuing issue of how police force is used. Today, we grieve along with our community for the loss of another Black man’s life.

While we do not yet know all the details involved in yesterday’s shooting of Walter Wallace, Jr., we do know the effect it has upon our families, our teachers and our children. For all those affected on any of the many levels that these increased incidents of violence bring, please know we support you. 

So many members of the PIC community live very close to where this violence happened. We have heard from the City that there is more peaceful protest and civil unrest anticipated this evening. Please stay safe.

With wishes for hope and healing.
