MEMORIAL WALK IN KENSINGTON FOR PEOPLE KILLED IN TRAFFIC VIOLENCE


Walk on Monday, November 11th, starting at 6:00 p.m., to commemorate the lives sacrificed in our neighborhood to traffic violence. The walk will go past the locations where those people's lives were taken from them.

In addition to those deaths, many other people have been injured on our streets, and we demand that effective measures be taken to protect us. Traffic-calming efforts to date haven't gone far enough.
