Days after performing at President Barack Obama’s second inaugural ceremony in Washington, D.C., Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old south side Chicago native, was shot dead.
She was shot dead in 2013 seeking shelter from the rain at a park and since then has become a symbol of gun violence not only in Chicago but other large cities like Detroit, said Lindsay Warren of Royal Oak, leader of the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
On Thursday, Warren and a sea of activists all clad in orange rallied outside the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center to call attention to National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Events are planned to throughout the month calling attention the gun violence.

| Just because chi-town can't control its gangs, does not mean law-abiding people lose their Rights! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
