Strides for Peace: Chicago’s Race Against Gun Violence

Chicago Women Take Action (CWTA) is co-sponsoring Strides for Peace’s (https://www.stridesforpeace.org/) annual walk in Grant Park on June 5. We are walking together to raise awareness of the critical need to end gun violence in our communities.  

CWTA’s  goals are to: 

--Pass gun safety legislation at federal, state, and local levels, including outlawing assault weapons and making guns and ammunition less accessible and boycott stores that sell guns. 

--Support community-led, anti-violence strategies and efforts to create safe neighborhoods, and increase private and public investment for services, education, mental health services, and  employment in disadvantaged communities.

--Expand educational and rehabilitative programs in the criminal justice system.

Please join us on the walk in Grant Park by the lake and make a donation to support our actions. We are stronger together when we are all safe. 

We are excited that once again, Chicago Women Take Action will be participating in this year's Race Against Gun Violence. Our participation helps to raise awareness about this issue and raise funds for CWTA (All funds raised and donated to CWTA participants goes to CWTA!). We are hoping you and your friends and families will be joining and supporting us.
