Daily News | Philly youth to march against gun violence on Sunday
. Every Saturday he gathers with kids and speakers to discuss their experience of gun violence and violence. “I say violence because people are dying from violence also,” Ali said.
“Our children have been seeing people shot, they’ve picked up guns, they’ve shot guns, they’ve been shot. They’ve seen — I’ve got a girl who’s seen her mother be murdered. So we don’t talk no jobs, no after-school programs. We talk about the trauma, dysfunction, and pain and anger first. Because until we deal with that topic, you can’t deal with anything else,” Ali said.Beloved Care Project also organizes healing circles and field trips to other cities.
“Dear organizations working with trauma,” one letter read, “the time is now to end gun violence. Us kids deserve better!!” While the march and rally will address something gravely serious, Ali puts a positive spin on the event, welcoming all who would like to attend. “We got a drumline, music at the Municipal [Services] Building. We got a DJ. We got resource tables, kids are going to speak, they’re going to sing. We got poets, we got everything,” he said. “We really want the whole city involved.”
