This story is very inspiring. A rash of violence in the city of Boston prompts many parents to come together. Women wrote out the pledge and men promised to promote healthy relationships and conflict resolution in order to set a good example.

Exeter vigils pushing for end to gun violence - 1 views

This story covers a month-long vigil that I participated in for 5 weeks last October in Exeter, NH. after another unexpected shooting story was in the news. The Social Justice Committee at the church I attend wanted to bring awareness to this recent situation and the continued rampant acts of random gun violence plaguing the country. The vigil also coincided with the 1-year anniversary of the deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut. In the past I would resist small vigils like this one because I believed, and I think erroneously, that something of this size couldn't make a difference (I was thinking of the March on Washington!). But the vigil's goal was simply to raise awareness, encourage conversation and give voice to caring.

The Mother's Day Walk for Peace began in 1996 for families who had lost their children to violence. On a day that we celebrate mothers and children, the Walk became a place for families and friends to feel support and love with thousands of others who pledge their commitment to peace.

Rashaun, are you going to walk? The expirence is amazing!!!! A few years ago, I was on the Board of Directors for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and Tina Chery and I have a relationship that spans many years. I was honored to be asked by her to serve on the board for around 2 years. I try and support the walk and her efforts every year. Last year my mother was very sick (dying) and it was a litttle too much for me to walk, but this year, I'll be there.
