Dennis Clark, candidate for Tennessee State Representative for the 28th Legislative District will host a community meeting addressing gun violence on Wednesday, at the Archway Building at 2523 Glass Street, starting at 11:30 a.m.
Mr. Clark will meet with community members and leaders to address and discuss ways on how to coordinate community based grass roots efforts to combat the city’s escalating issues involving gun violence and youth delinquency. During this time, he will also give a brief statement regarding his brother’s tragic death and will unveil a collaborative initiative designed to address economic and social inequities plaguing the urban community.
Mr. Clark said, “I have spent my career and this campaign advocating for safer streets and stronger communities. Although my heart is heavy and there is nothing I can do now to bring my brother back, I will dry my tears and continue this campaign, this fight against gun violence, so that no more mothers or fathers will have to bury their child to another senseless act of violence in Chattanooga.”
