Do stuff with and for your neighbors
We must reclaim OUR neighborhood - OUR JP
Dear Neighbors & City Officials,
We as JP residents must reclaim our neighborhood. The high crime from the early & mid 90s can not be allowed back! We must play a stronger voice in our community and help bring a safer environment for our kids, loved ones and the community we call HOME.
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?
Your friend in the community,
Daniel Perez Lacera
JP Neighborhood Council At-Large

Hello Jen, Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for your reply to my post.
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.
You are also correct, let’s stop talking and start doing! I could not have said that better myself, however before any action we must have effective communication.
Do I have all the answers and the blueprint to a solution, of course not, but I have the willingness and desire to finding it together and seeing this process through.
Please join me at the monthly meeting of the JP Neighborhood Council, which will be held this Tuesday, discussions are currently ongoing as to how to address this issue at the meeting. We would have City & Police officials there to hear the community and we will all together engage in finding or moving towards the best solution or path for our neighborhood.
Tuesday, November 30 at 7pm at the First Baptist Church on Centre Street.
