The Peace Walk begins our day together, uniting families, survivors, youth, and community members in one collective voice to say: End Violence. Choose Peace.
We walk alongside families whose loved ones have been murdered, honoring their lives while affirming our shared commitment to creating safer, healthier communities.
L.A.U.R.A.'s long-term vision is to grow the Peace Walk into a Community 5K for Peace.
After the walk, Fred Roberts Park becomes a vibrant hub of connection, culture, and care.
