The organizers of "Mothers and Fathers in Arms," the new group set up to fight youth violence on the LES, will be meeting tonight at 7pm in the community center at the Campos Plaza Houses. They welcome parents in the community to join forces with them, as they begin to plan programs, after school activities and mentoring opportunities for teens. The community center is located at 611 East 13th Street. The group has been moving its meetings from development to development across the neighborhood to encourage the widest possible participation.

Is their acronym intentional?
The group was originally called “Mothers in Arms” (MIA)!
