Monthly Peace Rides in South Central Los Angeles Promote Peace in the Community
LOS ANGELES, CA, July 02, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — On June 28, 2026, the roar of motorcycles carried a message far greater than the sound of engines as members of the Peace Rides gathered for their monthly ride through South Central Los Angeles. For the past 14 years, the group has brought together riders dedicated to promoting peace, supporting families affected by violence, and demonstrating that communities can unite in healing rather than retaliation.
After assembling at a local Park & Ride, the riders made their way as a group through local neighborhood streets, concluding the ride at Athens Park.
Among those participating was a man attending his first Peace Ride—a 70-year-old professional wedding photographer whose life was changed by the tragic loss of his 32-year-old grandson. Following an argument, another man left the scene, returned with a firearm, and fatally shot the young man. Described by his grandfather as a productive member of the community, he leaves behind 12 children.
Rather than seeking revenge, the grandfather wants to honor his grandson’s memory by helping to build a more peaceful community. He has chosen to join one of the motorcycle groups that participates in the monthly Peace Rides, hoping his voice and example can help prevent other families from experiencing similar tragedy.
He was presented a copy of The Way to Happiness, a common-sense guide to better living. He accepted it with gratitude and took additional copies to share with others, to spread a message of peace, compassion, and personal responsibility in his community.
Each month, for 14 years, Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International has donated The Way to Happiness booklets to the Peace Rides events. The Way to Happiness is written by L. Ron Hubbard, Humanitarian and Founder of the Scientology Religion. In the booklet Mr. Hubbard states, “Happiness lies in engaging in worthwhile activities” . . . “And that is my wish for you: flourish and prosper!”
