Mothers Day Walk for Peace
Join us!
The Mother’s Day Walk for Peace will take place on Sunday, May 12 (Mother’s Day). The Mother’s Day Walk for Peace is a celebration of our potential to create more peaceful communities and supports the wonderful work of Tina Chery. Tina created the Peace Institute as a way to honor her son Louis D. Brown who was shot and killed at the age of 15. The Peace Institute “serves as a center of healing, teaching, and learning for families and communities dealing with murder, trauma, grief and loss.” Every year families from across the state and region walk together to demand dignity and compassion for all families impacted by murder.
CDT has participated in both the walk and in fundraising for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute for many years. We hope you will join the CDT team this year as we walk from Fields Corner to Boston City Hall where there will be a Peace Rally. You are welcome to walk the whole route (6.8 miles) or just a part of it.
This year the Peace Institute is asking that everyone who walks register and pay a fee of $10. Registration can take place online at this link. You are welcome to reach out to friends and family and have them sponsor you for the walk.
