On April 7-8, the Washington DC Guardian Angels patrolled Ward 8 and recruited residents (16 years old and over) to come out and volunteer to deter crime and take back their community from the criminals. The Guardian Angels were contacted by residents to patrol the area after the March 30 shooting of nine people (six males and three females) gunned down in the 4000 block of South Capitol Street, SE and in the unit block of Galveston Street. During the the two days of patrolling South Capitol Street to 3rd Street and from Atlantic Street to Galveston Street, we got 15 names, numbers and emails from residents of Ward 8 who would like to join the Guardian Angels and patrol their community. We were welcomed with open arms and are willing to patrol the area twice a week for four hours if the residents are willing to volunteer as well. We are asking everyone to come out, get community service hours and become a leader and role model. This community belongs to the residents who care It does not belong to the thugs, drug dealers and killers The Guardian Angels are here to help any and everyone who is willing to step up to the plate and say enough is enough. The Guardian Angels will be back in the community this Saturday, April. 10th and Thursday, April 15. Please call or send an email if you would like to join in the fight to make the community a safer place to live and work.
