Dear Friends,

Please encourage young people in your neighborhoods, churches, and organizations to join in this year's 6th annual Youth Stopping Violence Summit. My office is excited to be co-sponsoring this year's event. We expect it to be a fantastic event, demonstrating the ever-vigilant efforts of the many young people of West County who are lighting the way to a peaceful future for our region.

West Contra Costa County Youth Stopping Violence Summit
October 17th 11 a.m. Richmond Auditorium 403 Civic Center Plaza

This event is a day of youth-led activities, performances, music, presentations, workshops, resource fair, FREE FOOD, and more, as youth come together spreading the message that "the power of change is on our hands!"

I looking forward to speaking at the event, giving words of encouragement to our determined and deeply committed young people as I stand side by side with them in building a better Richmond, a better West County and a better world!

Sincerely, Mayor McLaughlin
