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 it’s 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
