What is a Gang Injunction?
Its suppose to prohibit "gang members" from entering a "safety zone" named by the city. In the mission district its 60 blocks! A similar gang injunction has been placed in the Fillmore & Bayview Districts. Those on the injunction are prohibited from standing together, have mandatory curfews in the safety zone, cannot wear certain colors & prohibited from carrying felt tip markers. The reality is that this injunction does nothing to address the root causes of violence. It creates more power for police to use racial profilig & harassment to people of color, especially youth.

CURRENT CITY WIDE DEMANDS

*Clear & fair criteria to get on the list
*Guaranteed support services for people on the injunction
*A clear process for getting off the list
*An official investigation on police misconduct & racial profiling
*A Public commitment from city officials to implement a long term violence prevention plan that addresses root causes of violence
*Outlawing future gang injunctions
