Nekai Foster’s story of survival made its way to City Hall. 🎥🎞️

TO Wards Peace welcomed Nekai Walks, director Rico King, and community leaders and members, for a screening of the award-winning documentary ‘Nekai Walks’ a film on trauma, resilience, and the power of community in the face of gun violence.

As part of National Day Against Gun Violence, youth showcased their Peace Project banners and boards while community partners connected families with resources throughout the day. Caregivers gathered for a brunch, and youth and caregivers each had space for sessions focused on healing and support.

Prevention and intervention start with community.

Yesterday, TO Wards Peace marked the National Day Against Gun Violence to remember and honour the lives lost, and to look forward with a commitment to healing and peace.

This day exists because gun violence causes devastating impacts to victims, families, and our community. Together, we choose prevention. We choose intervention. We choose peace.
