Point VI: Gang Membership Renunciation
forward

Our long-term objective is the eventual dismantling of all disruptive parties (gangs, sets, groups, organizations, empires, etc.) that are prone to create havoc within the community. There will be party members from either side interested in changing his or her lifestyle. Point VI is written to protect any person who decides, or is encouraged, to give up his or her membership from any disruptive group.

1. All parties agree to allow any member who chooses to disassociate himself or herself from membership or association with any disruptive group representing either party to do so without the threat or enactment of ridicule, violence or retaliation.

2. Former members of a disruptive group representing either party are allowed to continue helping to establish peace without fear of repercussion.

3. Counseling and reorientation will be offered to any individual who decides to quit membership in a disruptive group representing either party.

4. For whatever reason, if any ex-member of a disruptive group rejoins his or her group, he or she will be excluded from the ongoing peace initiative.
