FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 12, 1997
San Diego, CA -- Last night, there were almost 100
citizens protesting the curfew as tapes of Bob
Marley played in the background. Tonight, a local
acoustic band will provide music.
"Motherís Maiden Name" will
perform at the rally from 10:40 p.m. to about 11:40
p.m. The rallies are held nightly at Mission Bay
Park across from the roller coaster.
"The rally is already a success," said
Dave Doctor, organizer of the rally. "Our
goal is to repeal the curfew law because it is
age-discrimination. In the process of achieving
this goal, each night we give people under 18 a
legal place to go after 10 p.m. Therefore, each
night is a success."
The curfew law may have an ironic result in the
summer of 1997. By outlawing activity for citizens
under 18, it has spurred a nightly rally that may
encourage them to go out.
"These nightly rallies are only necessary
because the City Council has stolen a fundamental
right of people under 18," said Doctor.
"All citizens should rally nightly until
their freedom is restored."
