Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
On Monday we told you about the Center for Urban Renewal and Education’s (CURE) 2023 National Policy Summit, which is scheduled for October 16-18 in Washington, D.C. If you’d like to attend, please register ASAP as space is limited.
We also shared an interview with Star Parker, CURE’s founder and CEO, in which she spoke about what CURE does and how pastors can help.
Today we have something else to share. Marc Little is the chair of CURE’s board of directors. He’s also a lawyer, a pastor, and the founder of CURE America Action. Marc attends the policy summit every year.
He recently appeared on a show called Centerpoint.tv to talk about rising crime rates.
As you may know, Marc was a victim of violent crime. He was shot by a gang member in Los Angeles years ago. He is a survivor.
Our country has a law-and-order problem, he said. Just as the left is trying to redefine gender, we have soft-on-crime district attorneys who want to redefine how we feel about crime in our neighborhoods — that they’re fighting systemic racism by not prosecuting criminals.
Marc said that it seems district attorneys in New York and Chicago are letting out more people committing crimes than they’re keeping.
“Black and brown communities are disproportionately impacted,” he said. Places like Beverly Hills have also been impacted, “but not like our communities, not like our malls, where Walmarts are shutting down. Big box stores are shutting down. Mom-and-Pop stores are shutting down.”
Small businesses must get together to stand up and look at the cause and say, “No more.” Marc said district attorneys are part of the cause.
