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! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
