Subject: [From the Carrollton Riverbend Neighborhood Association] Community March Against Violence
Community March Against
Violence
Late Monday night, an AmeriCorps member
who had come to New Orleans to live and serve in the community was shot and
killed in the Carrollton neighborhood. For those who are outraged by this and
other acts of violence that occur regularly throughout our city, there will be a
silent candlelight vigil and march to demonstrate our strength as a community
and our support of those who dedicate their lives to service. The Community
March Against Violence is a community solidarity event, not a memorial service.
It will not be used as a forum for discussion, interviews, or speeches.
Those interested in attending should
meet at the corner of Jeannette and Dublin Street on Sunday, April
7th at 8pm. The Community March Against Violence will proceed down
Jeannette, turn right onto Eagle, and return towards Carrollton on Birch. Please
bring your own candle.
For those of you who wish to attend but
cannot, feel free to join in spirit by lighting a candle wherever you are.
