Green Joins Houston Communities For 22nd Annual Night Out

Houston, TX- On Tuesday, Congressman Gene Green (D-Houston) will attend the Twenty Second Annual National Night Out in Houston.  This annual event involves communities uniting and hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts and parades just to name a few in order to show solidarity within the community to fight and prevent crime.

 

This is a great opportunity for local law enforcement and communities to really come together to make our neighborhoods safe for our families, said Congressman Green.  I have always believed in the proverb that says:  It takes a village to raise a child.  These are our communities and our families and its just great to come out here and see the involvement and enthusiasm that these events bring.

 

Other activities that accompany the National Night Out include:

 

 Heighten awareness of drug and crime prevention efforts
 Generate support and participation in crime prevention efforts
 Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community relations
 Send a message to criminals to let them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back
