FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 8, 1997
San Diego, CA -- On Saturday, August 9, the
Campaign to Repeal the Curfew will have a protest
march in La Jolla. After collecting almost 100
petition signatures during their march last
Saturday night, they are returning to Prospect St.
to promote their campaign and generate more
support.
"Last Saturday night's march energized all of
the protesters," said Dave Doctor, organizer of the
campaign. "We met hundreds of people who support
our campaign. We are returning to La Jolla to find
even more."
Doctor said that he is leading this campaign
because the curfew violates the civil rights of
human beings. "Regardless of age, gender, and race,
all human beings are related to one another. Those
people who support the curfew have used the knife
of intolerance to cut the human relationship they
share with teenagers," said Doctor.
The city politicians claim that the curfew is a
tool to fight crime. "They use the curfew as a tool
but not in their war on crime," said Doctor. "Like
the Baptists who are boycotting Disney, the
politicians use the curfew in their war of
intolerance."
The protesters are meeting at the corner of
Girard and Silverado at 7:30 p.m. and will march
along Prospect St. beginning at 8:00 pm.
