Major Event Will Unite Thousands of Bronxites in Opposition to Violence
On
Sunday, April 14, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. will join
together with thousands of community and clergy members to join “Hands
Across the Concourse” in opposition to gun violence and domestic
violence.
The
event, which is co-produced by the Bronx Reentry Task Force and the
Bronx Clergy Criminal Justice Roundtable, will see Bronx residents and
other concerned community leaders join hands in opposition to violence
along the Grand Concourse, between West Kingsbridge Road and Mosholu
Parkway.
“This
is a perfect event for our brothers and sisters in the Bronx to show
those who continue to plague our streets with violence that we are not
afraid to stand together as one family, one Bronx to put a stop to these
senseless acts of violence. The Bronx has had enough, and we will
continue to work towards a safer borough for those who live, work and
raise their family here,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
Those
participating in the event will begin to line up along the route at 3
p.m., and Borough President Diaz will officially join hands at 4 p.m. at
the West Kingsbridge Road location.
