Gang Oppression

My group's area of focus is gang oppression. The ones oppressing us are teenagers out there involved with gangs and "OG's" . This system is oppressing teenagers our there that want to "fit in". They convince others to join their gangs and their crews. They restrict people from wearing their favorite colors and going out to places because they think they own the "barrios". They harm people by oppressing them and also by killing and jumping innocents. The range of murders by gang members grow every year. This is horizontal violence because it's hurting everyone in the community specially their families. A personal experience is that 4 of my cousins died because they got shot by the opposite gang members. Gangs are one of the biggest oppressions.
