      Peace Vigil
      Sunday, January 10, 2009 . 2-3PM . 3800 block of North 6th St.
      A Communities' New Year's Resolution 
      "Let us never cease to stand together... honoring Life... once more."

      Though our hearts are aching for the family, friends, community and 
neighbors most impacted by the 4 homicides that have already happened this year 
in Minneapolis, we must stay steely in our resolve to live in a way that 
demonstrates our unwavering belief in the value of each and every life, and our 
commitment to working together until peace pervades our streets!

      It is to that end that the PEACE Foundation and MADDADS will be holding a 
prayer vigil for the first victim of violence in 2010-Dontae Johnson. Dontae, a 
32-year old African American male, was said to be a dedicated, stay-at-home 
father of three children-two girls, 8 and 1½, as well as a 7-year-old son. In 
fact, he was shot multiple times and killed just minutes after dropping off his 
son at a sleepover.  


      A basketball star at Edison High School and a native of North 
Minneapolis, Dontae met and married his college sweetheart while attending MN 
State University-Mankato. They later moved to Champlin, MN to raise their 
children. His father wonders who will care for his children now.  

      The Vigil will be held on this Sunday, January, 10th, from 2-3:00pm where 
Dontae was murdered, on the 3800 block of North 6th Street.

      Be it resolved in 2010 - WE CARE!!!

      Warmly,

      Sondra Samuels
      President
