For four consecutive weekends starting August 17th — from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night — community activists, politicians, church leaders, and the like will stand on corners in “hotspot” areas throughout the city, watching for any signs of violence, talking to residents, and taking back the streets. OTC is not a patrol, says Sharpton, but an opportunity to show strong real-life neighborly support in our communities most plagued by gun violence.
