Pictures from Our InterGenerational Rally on October 4, 2022 –  We rallied together and marched to the city council, where we made our voices heard.  We had an article in The Herald News, too! https://www.shawlocal.com/the-herald-news/news/2022/10/05/nonviolent-cities-project-looks-for-peace-in-joliet/  We will keep working with the community and put pressure on our leaders to declare Joliet, a Nonviolent City!  

Peace starts with children and we are always looking for more ways to do our part.
