Friends of Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort gathered at Saint Martin De
Porres Church in Milwaukee on January 8th to remember loved ones lost
to gun violence. We lit 86 candles representing the average number of
people lost to gun violence in the United States every day. Faith
leaders and local elected officials offered words of inspiration and
reflection. Sadly, the vigil came at a very appropriate time, as our
city experienced several tragic shootings in the first few days of the new year.
On display was a large card signed by more than 300 people from every
corner of the state, offering messages of love and support.
