Urban Peace Institute hosted our first annual Peace Walk & Healing Yoga to call for ending gun violence. Over 40 Los Angeles residents walked with us and gathered to practice yoga with local peacemaker Ebay Williams of H.E.L.P.E.R. Foundation. Peacemakers act as essential violence prevention and intervention workers in Los Angeles’ most underserved communities with a demonstrated track record of reducing gun violence and saving lives.

"I'm walking for the mother who lost her only daughter to gun violence. So that we can bring awareness so no mother has to lose their child again." - Tina Padilla, Peacemaker, Community Warriors 4 Peace

Thank you to our friends at Moms Demand Action and the advocates and survivors who showed up for peace. A huge shoutout to Ebay for sharing his story and healing practice with us! Stay tuned for more events.
