Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
Solutions to gang violence and hope for gang members will be explored at Lifetree Café
on Sunday, July 31 at 7 p.m.
The program, titled “Hope for Gangs: Surprising Stories from the Bloods and Crips,”
features exclusive filmed interviews with several former gang members who share their
past experiences and how they escaped the dangerous lifestyle.
“I was very involved in sports growing up, but when I moved to a new street, it all

changed,” one of the former gang members says. “I saw all these kids running around,
and it was something I wanted to be a part of. Everything became very hateful toward my
rivals, and it was just the thing to do.”
During the program, Lifetree participants will have the opportunity to discuss ways they
can impact the lives of gang members in their own community.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek
Connexion on the corner of Union and 13 th St., Arcata.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a
