Daily News | ‘We’re tired of living in a warzone’: Philly youth march against gun violence
Dozens of kids marched down Market Street to protest gun violence Sunday afternoon, carrying signs that read “Don’t shoot, I want to grow up” and “No one is target practice.” They were accompanied by drill teams, drum lines, and representatives from youth services groups. After circling City Hall, the group gathered on Thomas Paine Plaza, where young people delivered speeches and recited poems.
The rally closed out the second annual march by Khalif Mujahid Ali of the Beloved Care Project. The timing was poignant: It took place at the end of the week that saw Philadelphia’s homicide count surpass 100 for the year, including 15-year-old Devin Weedon, who wasAli’s nonprofittheir experiences. He invites guest speakers to join, including mothers who have lost children to gun violence and formerly incarcerated people who have returned home. “Then we let the children talk.
Nigel Allen, a 23-year-old poet from West Philly, attended Sunday’s rally at Ali’s invitation. He has llost many friends and family to gun violence, he said. “It’s truly senseless. I think it’s a misdirection of anger. ... We need to find more positive ways to express ourselves.”
