Community members in Milwaukee are uniting with one message, "Stop the violence."Organizations and residents took to the streets for a citywide peace march, boldly demanding an end to the ongoing violence in Milwaukee.According to the Milwaukee Police Department, through Oct. 10, there have been 152 homicides, and 710 non-fatal shootings.That's more than double the rates in 2019 during the same time period.Community members ranging from all ages gathered on Saturday for a "Citywide Intergenerational Peace March" to promote peace and honor the numerous lives lost due to gun violence.The peace march began on the corner of North 27th and West Burleigh streets and proceeded to Sherman Park, where a closing rally was hosted with violence prevention resources available to marchers. Amongst some of the organizations involved in the march include City of Milwaukee Office of Violence Prevention, 414 Life and the Medical College of Wisconsin. "We're all here fighting for the same reasons," said Jessica Butler, a 414 Life activist. From law enforcement officials, church ministers and even healthcare members—the community is demanding change. "As a church, we take a stand to denounce the violence that has been happening," said Refuge Fellowship Church Minister, Candace Lewis.Some family members of gun violence victims joined the march, honoring their lives."It's still surreal. I miss her. I know she's guiding me and helping me through," said Carrie Scott-Haywood, marching in honor of her daughter and other domestic violence victims.Froedert's Chief of Trauma Surgery, Mark Demoya, told WISN 12 he sees the violence repetitively while on the job. "I see the violence every day as it manifests in our emergency rooms and our operating rooms," Demoya said. "I'm just here to give support to the community because this is something that needs to change."
