The organization Big Homies joined forces with Big Mama's Safe House to host the Black and Brown Unity event on the Fourth of July.
"We're here to show them there's no need to pick up a gun to fight, come together and pick up a plate," said Leslie Balderas-Salazar.
Two organizations want to see that trend continue, so they came together this Fourth of July to promote unity. They shared a meal this Fourth of July, with a focus on equality and justice, working toward a more inclusive society. Big Mama's Safe House hopes to keep those numbers trending downward by building relationships, and educating young people about guns.
