Groups like Quench The Violence say there are resources available to reduce gun violence, including education, outreach programs and support groups.
Anyone driving through the intersection of Edgewood and Commonwealth avenues Saturday afternoon likely heard those chants and others from the groups on the corner wearing orange and holding photos of their loved ones -- whose lives were cut short by gun violence. Quench The Violence led the rally, hoping that the chants, signs and pictures would ensure the families’ message was not only heard, but seen.
