MILWAUKEE – City of Milwaukee Office of Violence Prevention, 414 Life, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and other local organizations will gather together on Saturday, October 16 at 10 a.m. for a Citywide Intergenerational Peace March to promote peace in the community and honor the countless lives lost due to gun violence.
