This year’s Race Against Gun Violence brought together hundreds of Chicagoans and people beyond the city who care deeply about reducing gun violence and strengthening our communities. Our team was glad to be there in the mix, with many staff participating in the race and Together Chicago and Love Your School hosting tables to share resources with people passing by.
It was encouraging to see so many people gathered around a shared commitment to peace—running, walking, and showing up for a safer future. Even better were the smiles on so many faces at the finish line, a reminder that joy and determination can stand alongside the hard work of ending gun violence.
If you believe in this work, please consider making a gift to support Together Chicago and help us continue build safer, stronger communities across our city.
