The C.L.A.E.R. Project Responds to Senator Mark Leno’s Introduction of SB 565

The C.L.A.E.R. project stands in strong support of Senator Mark Leno’s introduction of SB 565, a bill to end the sale of firearms at the Cow Palace.

The Cow Palace stands directly across the street from the Sunnydale housing projects, a community that has been plagued with the presence of firearms and brutal violence for decades. Just three days ago 16-year old Mark Crawford was gunned down at a children’s playground just steps from the Cow Palace. We at C.L.A.E.R. will do everything in our power to ensure that SB 565 is successful in eliminating this paradox.

Senator Mark Leno is a longtime champion of the work we do at The C.L.A.E.R. Project. He has consistently supported our model of direct supportive services coupled with civic engagement as a way to connect public housing residents to the city they live in.
