Garfield Park letter

In this letter I will be addressing the issue in Garfield park. I chose Garfield Park because it is a neighborhood that suffers from violence, I wrote this letter to the Alderman so he could take action and find the root of this cause, also so he could get informed on what is going on. This is why I am writing this letter to Garfield parks local Alderman.

Dear Jason C. Ervin,

I am a student from GCE High school, I am writing this letter to you today because in my course Global Peace it  teaches us about how we should become Global citizens and how we should apply it to the world. The issue I will be addressing more in depth of my letter is Garfield parks violence. Although i’m not from Garfield park area I often go their  notice there's a ton of crimes going on in that particular area. Local businesses in Garfield are running low because people in Garfield are most likely afraid of going out in fear of getting shot. This is why local businesses in Garfield are running to an all time low.

The terrible actions going on in Garfield must stop because these shootings and rapes and many more crimes, are taking effect on the people of Garfield. The citizens in Garfield are taking people’s lives like it’s nothing. These actions are  having an effect on the people of Garfield . Every time I go to Garfield park there's always police cars on every other corner Although this may help, it also makes the people of Garfield feel like people are watching their every move. This makes the people of Garfield knowingly worried that something at anytime of the day may happen, and they don't know when and why. We as citizens of Chicago need to find the root of the cause and figure out what we can do to prevent these things from continuing to happen.

I propose that Garfield Park area build some sort of Community center where it isn't run down but the best of the best! I think this Community center should consist of activities for Kids, youth, and adults. This center could also add jobs in the community such as camp counselors, desks operators, custodians etc. I think with this center it would be a sort of local business because it would be runned by the people of Garfield. What I am trying to plead to you is that this community need some sort of thing to help them. I predict if we build something similar to this then we could possibly be a better community.

Thank you for taking the time in reading my letter,

AMK
