Uniting and Healing campaign to hold Men’s March Saturday
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — Uniting and Healing Through Hope of Monroe County is continuing to hold events in its push to end violence in Rochester.
The campaign is holding a men’s march on Saturday, followed by a family cookout and concert.
Organizer Clay Harris said he believes young boys need to know and learn from their fathers, to not spread violence in their community.
"We have a lot of different speakers who are going to speak to the men, and the young men and the boys about what it is to be a man, to be a young man and to grow up and be a productive citizen and how to get involved to stop this violence," Harris said.
Presumptive mayor-elect Malik Evans will be one of those speakers.
