Community organizer Tralayia Price and Councilwoman Paulette Chavers, in partnership with the City of Statesboro, are holding a march to end gun violence this Sunday, October 15th, 2023. “Unity in the Community - March to End Gun Violence” will start at 3pm, marching from Kent Park at 107 W. Grady St., Statesboro, and finishing at Luetta Moore Park at 585 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr., Statesboro.
Following the march, a town hall and conflict resolution seminar will be held at Luetta Moore Park, led by Reverend Dr. Francys Johnson. This town hall is the public’s opportunity to have their voices heard and work towards change as a community.
Councilwoman Chavers said, “While organizers are bringing awareness to gun violence in the community, this march is a unifying of the community to take a strong stand against gun violence.”
