"I don't know if gun violence is going to change, It doesn't look like it's getting better, so that means that we need to have those resources readily available and Accessible immediately," expressed Taylor. “I think that there needs to be a lot more resources for victims of gun violence so that they don't have to face the barriers that we all have faced in the past when we've lost our loved ones.
During the rally goers will push for policy changes, to expand support for crime victims and their families financially, emotionally, add more programs to address the root cause of crime like rehabilitation and community-led violence intervention, according to a news release."I actually had a family member that was killed with gun violence So it's very important just being unified and also hearing other stories," said Lisa McDaniel who is also on the trip.
