1000 Men and Boys March Silently Against Crime and Violence in South Florida

Miami – On December 29, 2007, the Miami-Dade Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, (NAACP) under the leadership of Bishop Victor T. Curry, President, People United to Lead the Struggle for Equality, (P.U.L.S.E) along with community leaders, organizations and citizens will lead 1000 Men and Boys in a silent march against the increasing violence and crime that continues to plague South Florida.

On that date, at 9:00am men and boys will gather at Miami Carol City Park, 3201 NW 185th street and march silently through Miami Gardens in reverence and solidarity. They will return to the Park and will be joined by concerned women for a rally and demonstration.

This Event seeks to put public spotlight on the violence that is still taking place in Miami-Dade County. “We must stop the shootings that continue to occur, says Bishop Curry, the visionary for the Event. “We must stop the crimes, particularly those against each other. As men we must take the lead and teach our brothers that there are alternatives to solving differences.”

“We are asking fraternities, men’s groups and boy’s organizations to march,” says Bishop Victor T. Curry. “Men, lets take the action that is needed for our families.”

Voter Registration, as well as Health, Employment and Restoration of Rights information will be available. This event is free and open to the community.
