Every last Saturday in June for the last 10 years, Church of the Messiah has led the Silence the Violence March and Rally. This year, the march is going national and will be held June 30, 2018 at Church of the Messiah located at 231 E Grand Blvd, Detroit, MI 48207. The rally will begin at 10am followed by the march at 11am.
The purpose of the march has been to shed light to the issues facing young people in America today, specifically urban communities. The event also focuses on connecting community organizations making positive impacts in the community, to create Detroit (IN)powerment Village Alliances (D.I.V.A.) across the city.
Community groups, religious organizations, governmental leaders, law enforcement, business leaders, as well as the average citizen, will all gather and participate in this annual event to celebrate community and honor those who have died because of gun violence.
This event will also take place in other cities across the country including Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Baltimore, New York, Boston. Local cities participating in the Detroit march include Pontiac, Flint, Highland Park, and Ypsilanti.
We invite everyone to be apart of this year’s event.
