The monthly meeting of the JPNC will be held this Tuesday Nov. 30th @ 7pm in the First Baptist Church on Centre St.

The JPNC has invited City and Police Officials to our monthly OPEN community meeting to be part of the discussions that are currently ongoing as to how to address the rise in shootings and violence in our community. We must, all together, engage in finding and moving towards the best solution or path for our neighb...orhood.

What are we as residents of JP going to do?
We are to PARTICIPATE and ENGAGE, not for the moment but for the life of our residency in JP. We as residents tend to become involve in the community only when times are bad, we need to be involve also when all is well in our community.

Let’s stop talking and start doing! However before any action takes place we must have an effective communication.

Do the Council or I have all the answers and the blueprint to a solution, of course not, but the Council and I have the willingness and desire to find it together and seeing this process through.

"Let the walls of City Hall, the Bus Stops on Centre St, the Bodegas, Churches and Police Stations hear loud & clear that this community will stand together and say WE ARE HERE and together we stand, as firm believers that we can make a change and as a unit kick the out of control violence out of our streets. We are Jamaica Plain and WE DO CARE. Yesterday was Boylston Street, today was Same Old Place. If we do not step in and lead our community, what would be next? How much worse would we allow this to become?"

Please join us at the monthly OPEN community meeting of the JP Neighborhood Council, which will be held this Tuesday Nov. 30th @ 7pm.
