Dear Friends-

As you may know, a arson fire was set at my home in the early morning on September 21st. My family and I are safe, and all necessary repairs and clean up, and replacements are being handled by our insurance company. We have had a great response from our neighbors and community leaders, who have organized a vigil tonight in front of our home to signify community strength and unity. If you are in the Northern CA area, we hope you can join us.

Vigil Information - 2614 36th Street, Sacramento CA (between 1st and 2nd Avenue). 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

We are working closely working with the fire and police departments to find the individual(s) that committed the crime. I have attached the copies of the press release sent out by the Oak Park Neighborhood Association and by my organization, Ubuntu Green.

Also, there was a fire bombing that occurred early this morning in another section of Oak Park. The home was vacant, and no one was hurt. A link to this incident is below.

Thank you in advance for all your kind works and support! We are all doing fine and plan to continue to be strong members of our community through our individual work and through our non-profit Ubuntu Green.
