ARCES HOMES WATCH: Councilmember Jarvis Johnson and a coalition of organizations to host press conference today

Media/Community Advisory

The recent arrest of an individual reported to “possibly” have been responsible for a series of sexual assault/murders in the Acres Homes area is comforting. A wide coalition of organizations, elected officials, activists and residents have waited for years to find out what sick soul was responsible for such heinous crimes, terrorizing an entire community in the process. While we are awaiting DNA evidence to conclusively link this individual to these murders we want to send a strong message to the community of Acres Homes and the city of Houston in general, “DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.”

A coalition of organizations will unite with Houston City Councilman Jarvis Johnson to walk the neighborhoods in Acres Homes in an effort to send a message that the “THREAT LEVEL” must remain at its height to prevent further victimization. We plan to pass out flyers containing information and instructions on how to “REMAIN VIGILANT” to protect women and young girls in the community. We must be certain that our community is not being misled in the name of “solving the infamous Acres Homes murders.” Please join us in sending this very important message.

Councilmember Jarvis Johnson announces major upcoming Houston Drug-Free/Recovery Conference

As the country prepares to observe National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery month in September, one expert observed that “drugs and alcohol abuse is America’s number one health problem, the number one crime problem, the number one homeless problem, the number one youth problem, including youth violence”.

The issue of drugs throughout the city and lack of effective wholistic drug reform has prompted Councilmember Jarvis Johnson to partner with many in hosting the first of its kind “Families Aiding In Total Healing -Solving Together Every Problem” (FAITH-STEP) two-day drug prevention/drug free recovery conference to be held September 17-18, 2009 at Texas Southern University.

Councilmember Johnson unveiled details of this solution-oriented conference at the Official Press Conference on Friday, August 28, 2009 on the steps of TSU Granville Sawyer Auditorium (3100 Cleburne).

“We must recognize just about everyone's family is affected and afflicted by alcohol and drug abuse and the user is getting younger”, said Councilmember Johnson. “This conference will be a wholistic approach to help families the solution to the growing problem of substance abuse.”

The press conference also featured TSU President John Rudley, Conference Co-host Mrs. Cleo Glenn Johnson-McLaughlin, Rev. James McLaughlin, community activist Deric Muhammad, Mavis Jackson (LCDC,CART), Atty. Michael Harris, Janice Paul of the City of Houston Health & human Services Dept, TSU Provost James Douglass, and more.

Sponsors of the 2009 Recovery Month Conference also include Communities Of Tomorrow’s Economic Redevelopment/Gift OF Life Drug free, (COTER/GOLD), TSU Center on the Family (TSU/COTF), and the Black United Fund of Texas (BUFTX).
