Union Tribune/John Fanestil: Let’s not give up on Friendship Park

The Friends of Friendship Park invite people of good will to join us in not yet giving up the fight. We will meet this Thursday with decision-makers from the U.S. Border Patrol. We ask members of the community to gather at sunset the night before for a silent vigil outside Border Patrol headquarters in Chula Vista.
