The overall goal is to support those who have lost loved ones to gun violence and to help bring a stop to what we are seeing on our city streets day in and day out.
“We are basically just letting our angels be heard,” Monique Ray, the founder of A Part of Me, Our Angels World said. “We bring their voices up for those who did die from gun violence. We are just trying to get it to stop.”
A majority of the crowd wore orange for Saturday’s march. This is because it’s officially “Wear Orange Weekend” to remember survivors of gun violence.
