Walk for Peace Feb. 26

February 25, 2009

Hi, everyone--

In the wake of a Mardi Gras that was upliftingly festive, but sadly marred by violence, SilenceIsViolence and our community partners are launching spring peace efforts throughout our city.  Over the next few weeks we will begin new series of Youth Writing and Music Clinics under the "SilenceIsViolence presents" program.

Tomorrow, we join with the V.I.P. Ladies Social Aide and Pleasure Club for a Peace Walk uptown.  This will be the first of a series of City Walks coordinated by the social aid and pleasure clubs of New Orleans, in conjunction with the annual second-line parades of the clubs.  We invite all who feel that community action is a crucial part of our public safety to join the V.I.P. Ladies on Thursday evening.  The full route should take less than an hour and is listed below.
