Journey For Justice

Event of the Week: Journey For Justice

Plus Heroes and Jerks of the Week

By Shepherd Express Staff

Each year, about 450 people in Wisconsin become victims of gun violence. To raise awareness of the devastation caused by guns, the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort (WAVE), Public Allies Milwaukee and UW-Milwaukee are sponsoring a "Journey for Justice" tour around the state, featuring an exhibit of 450 T-shirts to remember the state's gun victims. They're also urging lawmakers to pass common-sense gun-control laws, including background checks for all gun sales. On Wednesday, April 22, the "Journey for Justice" exhibit will be featured in Milwaukee's City Hall. Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, Mayor Tom Barrett, Carmen Pitre of the Sojourner Family Peace Center, and WAVE's Jeri Bonavia will lend their support.
