communities terrorized by violence on America's streets to

*MESSAGE FROM THE HT3 PEACE NETWORK*
We can no longer tolerate living in a country where we stand idly by, while
we cannot sit peacefully on our porches, walk peacefully to the corner
store, or play peacefully in front of our homes. The hour of day was chosen
for maximum visibility as people commute home and to underscore the point
that people's lives - from grieving families to frustrated officials - are
being interrupted more each day as the issues feeding this problem continue
to escalate.
*SPEAKERS*
Civic, community, and business leaders
Peace advocates from all cultures, communities, and walks of life
Families from around the region who have been impacted by violence
