A “take back the streets” gathering in the name of beating victim Austin Ridge will take place Wednesday, May 2, at 8 p.m. Starting at the corner of Lucas Avenue and Boyes Blvd, near the site of the April 24 attack, the candlelight procession is a statement of the freedom to safely walk and bike the streets, day or night.
“We can not accept this kind of violence in our community,” said Dmitra Smith. “This walk is meant to reclaim the night and our safety on the streets, and it is first and foremost a community outpouring of support for Austin Ridge and his family.”
Participants are encouraged to bring candles and or flashlights.
